ACUPUNCTURE WITHOUT BORDER

as a complementary tool  

      While modern medical treatment remains indispensable in a great number of the conditions encountered in developing countries, the cost of medication and the lack of medical supplies mean that any efficient way of replacing prescriptions provides a welcome element in healthcare management.

      Il AWB is therefore dedicated to offering a complementary therapeutic tool for existing local medical practice, whether modern or traditional. Acupuncture very often makes the prescription of drugs redundant, and only indispensable medications need be paid for.

       Statistical data collected by AWB have shown that acupuncture could efficiently treat some 60% of the pathologies seen in dispensaries (this figure does not include minor surgery or dressing of wounds).

     All Acupuncture Without Borders Centers are thus committed to collaborating and promoting exchanges with any organization sharing similar objectives. The benefits of collaboration and complementary actions in the field of humanitarian work are self-evident.
