Cooperation between eastern and western medicine for the management of chronic disease at the university center of eastern medicine, Medical university ":Prof. dr. Paraskev Stoyanov", Varna

Summary/Abstract: The priority for medical professionals while dealing with chronic illness is to solve the patient's problem in its holistic totality, not just to diagnose with the help of narrow-specialized and high-tech medicine. In an aging society, where chronic diseases are the most common cause of pain, suffering and death, expectations are shifting to the unutilized opportunities for collaboration between Eastern and Western medicine. The clarification of the issue regarding the entry of Eastern medicine into the New Public Health presupposes a qualitatively new look at the complementary prevention and treatment opportunities coming from the East. The main purpose of this article is to outline the steps of collaboration between Eastern and Western Medicine at the University Center of Eastern Medicine, Medical University "Prof. Dr. Paraskev Stoyanov", Varna. The following three steps are presented: a comparative analysis of Eastern and Western medicine; study of the needs, beliefs and attitude of the Bulgarian citizen; analysis of the situation in Bulgarian conditions. The usefulness of combining the methods of Eastern and Western medicine in a university environment, aimed at the mutual potentiating of their effects in order to change the quality of life of the Bulgarian patient, has been proven.
