Guizhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Southwest China's Guizhou province recently held an acupuncture workshop that concluded on Nov 7, in which 42 students and medical workers involved in traditional Chinese medicine from Brazil took part.

The workshop designed acupuncture courses and clinical supervision to allow the trainees to learn clinical diagnosis and treatment methods for difficult illness cases.

This year marks the 45th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Brazil. Guizhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine also hopes to promote acupuncture in Brazil, as Brazil has great demand for the application of acupuncture in treating diseases caused by pain and cosmetology.

The university will carry on the exchange with Brazil's traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture association and looks forward to further cooperation on traditional Chinese medicine with Brazil in the future.
