Abstract:
20th anniversary congress of the World Federation of Acupuncture-Moxibustion Societies (WFAS) was held in Beijing, China on 20-22 October 2007. The congress was characterized by 1) cerebration of 20th anniversary of WFAS, 2) distinguished guests from World Health Organization (WHO) were invited, and they gave us a lecture, 3) WFAS executive committee showed a strategic plan for future 10 years.
Although WFAS strategic plan has not carried out properly in the past 10 years, it could be completed in the next 10 years. WFAS is changing from what it used to be. Therefore, JSAM has to reconsider its strategic plan for WFAS and for the worldwide spread of acupuncture and moxibustion.
