尊敬的世界针联团体会员、各工作委员会和全球中医针灸工作者：

　　今年我们将迎来了2022年11月16—22日——第九个“世界针灸周”，世界针灸学会联合会（以下简称“世界针联”）秘书处衷心地感谢全球各团体会员、工作委员会，以及世界各地同仁们对中医针灸事业的付出与努力，并致以真挚的问候！

　　2010年11月16日，联合国教科文组织审议并通过“中医针灸”被列入《人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录》，这标志着中医针灸在人类医学发展史上的巨大贡献得到充分认可与高度肯定。2018年11月，世界针联在法国巴黎成功举办了“世界针灸日走进联合国教科文组织特别活动”，向全球发布《携手共创人类健康共同体——2018巴黎宣言》；2020年11月，在中国海南隆重召开了“‘中医针灸’申遗十周年特别活动暨世界针联2020国际针灸学术研讨会”，共襄“中医针灸传承创新、全球抗疫命运与共”国际学术盛举。2022年，围绕“弘扬中医针灸，护佑全民健康”主题，即将在新加坡举办世界针灸学会联合会第十届会员大会暨2022世界针灸学术大会，敬请大家的关注与参与！

　　值此2022年“世界针灸周”来临之际，在近年来保护与传承“中医针灸”非遗系列活动的基础上，世界针联秘书处号召我学会团体会员、各工作委员会和全球中医针灸工作者，积极开展2022年“世界针灸周”活动，围绕“弘扬中医针灸，护佑全民健康”开展丰富多彩的学术交流活动，包括“携手抗疫”“学术研讨”“公益活动”“科普讲座”“义诊服务”“出版书籍或期刊”“中医针灸文创”“快闪视频”和“新媒体宣传”等形式开展系列活动。

　　“世界针灸周”活动信息请以文字（500字以内，word版）、照片或视频等形式发送到世界针联秘书处邮箱。我们将在世界针联官方网站发布贵组织的活动风采，请您于2022年11月30日之前提交至世界针联秘书处，谢谢您的支持与配合！
