| Abstract: |
Meer dan 1 op 3 Belgen raadpleegt minstens 1 keer in zijn leven een osteopaat, chiropractor, homeopaat of acupuncturist. In het kader van de verdere uitvoering van de wet Colla vroeg de minister van Volksgezondheid het Federaal Kenniscentrum voor de Gezondheidszorg (KCE) een stand van zaken op te maken van deze 4 populaire niet-conventionele geneeswijzen. In een eerste rapport (december 2010) bestudeerde het KCE osteopathie en chiropraxie. Deze keer is acupunctuur aan de beurt. De therapie werd tegelijkertijd vanuit een wetenschappelijke, sociologische, juridische en organisatorische invalshoek bekeken, een Belgische primeur!
