Abstract:
With the integration of acupuncture into Qatar’s national medical system in 2016, TCM has made great progress in the State of Qatar. At the same time, the launch of the Qatar National Vision 2030 and the Belt and Road Initiative has provided a good opportunity for TCM development there. At present, the state of Qatar lacks local education and policy support for TCM development and there exists competition from other traditional medicine. However, the domestic investment environment is stable. TCM development in Qatar has to focus on expanding the Chinese medicine market, promoting scientific research cooperation, encouraging herbal medicine enterprises to develop planting industry, and striving for preferential policies to develop TCM service trade.
