In summer 2025, NJUCM and Benha National University, Egypt successfully carried out a two-way faculty and student exchange, marking a new chapter of cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative.
From July 14–30, 10 NJUCMers visited Egypt, joining medical courses in emergency care, pediatrics, obstetrics, and wound treatment, alongside hospital visits and simulations. They also engaged in cultural activities such as museum and pyramid visits, and shared TCM practices with local faculty and peers. The program enriched students’ medical knowledge, cross-cultural understanding, and sense of global responsibility.
From August 15–30, a Benha delegation attended a short-term TCM training program at NJUCM, covering Qigong, acupuncture, moxibustion, herbal medicine, dietary therapy, calligraphy, and tea culture. They also explored Nanjing’s cultural landmarks and Beijing’s heritage, gaining deeper insights into Chinese history, society, and modernization.
The mutual visits expanded academic horizons, promoted cultural dialogue, and forged closer ties between the two universities. Both sides aim to extend cooperation into joint teaching, research, talent training, and clinical services, contributing to the international development of TCM and advancing NJUCM’s global engagement.
