Guo Guangchang, Chairman of Fosun International, said that the new crown epidemic has brought impact and changes to the entire society and brought us a lot of thinking.
To deal with the new crown epidemic that is still raging around the world and similar crises in the future, we have no choice but to further strengthen technological innovation and strengthen global cooperation.
Guo Guangchang mentioned the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine jointly developed by Fosun and German BioNTech, which is currently undergoing clinical trials in China.
He said that scientific data is the only criterion for testing the effectiveness and safety of vaccines.
Science is full of uncertainties. The world needs to develop many different types of vaccine candidates to maximize the chance to find a solution to the new coronavirus.
Only with global solidarity and open cooperation can we quickly control the spread of the epidemic and ultimately defeat the virus.
Focus on innovation, technology contributes to a healthy future
The new crown pneumonia epidemic is still raging, and it has brought severe challenges to the fight against the epidemic worldwide.
In the field of medical and health care, the epidemic has also accelerated global medical technology innovation, and the importance of science and technology to fight the epidemic and help a healthy future is increasingly evident.
Chen Qiyu, Co-CEO of Fosun International, believes that the new crown epidemic has promoted the rapid development of innovative medical technologies, rapid breakthroughs in new technologies in areas such as rapid detection, emergency treatment, and drug openness, global collaboration, breaking boundaries, and data sharing. New technologies and new products With the support of government laws and regulations, it can be promoted rapidly.

With the mission of bringing more innovative drugs to Chinese patients in need in a shorter time, Gilead Science hopes Work with everyone to work hard to achieve the common goal of a healthy China."
Responding to challenges, science and technology help normalize epidemic prevention
At present, the new crown epidemic is still spreading around the world, and vaccine research and development cannot be delayed.
Only with global solidarity and open cooperation can we quickly control the spread of the epidemic and ultimately defeat the virus.
Ugur Sahin, the co-founder and CEO of BioNTech, shared the development and clinical trial progress of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) new crown vaccine with everyone through a video.
He said that the new crown epidemic affects everyone in the world, and the only way to achieve the goal of eliminating the epidemic on a global scale is to use the most effective way to bring safe and effective vaccines to everyone in the world.
Currently, BioNTech is working closely with Fosun Pharma to promote clinical trials of mRNA vaccines in China.
It is hoped that through the cooperation with Fosun Pharma, we will work together to develop and produce safe and effective vaccines and realize their supply, so as to contribute to the challenges of the epidemic and meeting medical needs.
How to deal with the challenges of clinical and medical services under the epidemic?
Fan Jia, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and dean of Zhongshan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, said: The epidemic has been out for several months. Under the unified deployment of the government, all sectors of society are united and the epidemic in China has been brought under timely control.
As hospitals in Shanghai resume work and production, epidemic prevention and control have also entered a normalization stage.
For hospitals, the "two-handed grasp" measures: one hand grasps epidemic prevention and control, the other hand grasps daily medical care, and firmly holds the bottom line of safety.
With the gradual stabilization of the epidemic, the gradual development of daily medical care, the development and marketing of vaccines, and the strengthening of preventive measures, I believe that in the post-epidemic era, we will "come to fight and fight to win".
