Tilpasning til forandring og navigere i den nye normal

As the global healthcare industry undergoes fundamental change in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ability to pivot, innovate and adapt to the new normal has become paramount. At the plenary discussion under the summit’s theme, “Shaping a Resilient and Sustainable Future”, global business leaders and healthcare experts shared their views on the rapid reform and investment opportunities in the healthcare industry, exploring how to create a more resilient public health system that can withstand short-term and long-term challenges. The speakers included Chen Qiyu, Executive Director and Co-CEO, Fosun International Limited; Fred Hu, Chairman, Primavera Capital Group; Dr Dennis Lo, Director and Li Ka Shing Professor of Medicine and Professor of Chemical Pathology, The Chinese University of Hong Kong; and Leon Wang, Executive Vice President, International and China President, AstraZeneca. The session was moderated by Victor Chu, Chairman & CEO, First Eastern Investment Group (Hong Kong).

Chen Qiyu said: “Joint global R&D is an important model going into the future. This can expedite leading technology in the world so that it can move to clinical use faster. So, in the future, no matter whether the source of innovation is in the US, Europe, China or Japan, with this highly effective global cooperation we hope that in the shortest period of time these products can be used in Greater China. When we face the future, we need to change. We need more health innovations globally [and] we need far faster reform in the healthcare system integrated with new technology, digital technology, mobile healthcare facilities and also personal health data.”

Politisk dialog udforsker bæredygtig udvikling

Senior global health experts gathered at the Policy Dialogue session to exchange opinions on the future development of the public health system and ways to achieve sustainability. Chaired by Dr Margaret Chan, Founding Dean, Vanke School of Public Health, Tsinghua University and Emeritus Director-General, World Health Organization (WHO), speakers included Nachman Ash, Director-General, Ministry of Health, Israel; Sophia Chan, Secretary for Food and Health of the HKSAR; Dr Takeshi Kasai, Regional Director for the Western Pacific, WHO; Ma Xiaowei, Minister, National Health Commission, the People’s Republic of China; and Ong Ye Kung, Minister for Health, Republic of Singapore.

Dr Margaret Chan said: “In the short term, our best hope to end this pandemic and to bring back normalcy to our life is to ramp up vaccine coverage. At the global level, world leaders need to cooperate to ramp up vaccine production with equitable allocation, particularly to developing countries [as] ending this pandemic can be done in solidarity, by leaders of the world, under the technical coordination of the World Health Organization. In the medium to long term, we need a new relationship between humanity and our natural systems. We need holistic thinking in integrating our solutions.

Enorme muligheder for sundhedsindustrien under dobbelt cirkulation

The panel discussion “Healthcare in China: Deciphering the Dual Circulation Opportunities” shed light on the dual circulation strategy’s impact on the healthcare industry in Mainland China. Chaired by Antony Leung, Group Chairman & CEO, Nan Fung Group and Group Chairman & Co-Founder, New Frontier Group, the speakers included Nicolas Aguzin, Executive Director, Chief Executive Officer, Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited; Cheng Cheung Ling, Vice Chairlady, Sino Biopharmaceutical Limited; Claudia Suessmuth Dyckerhoff, Board Member of Hoffmann-La Roche; Nisa Leung, Managing Partner, Qiming Venture Partners; Jieyuan Liao, Founder, Chairman and CEO, We Doctor Holdings Limited; and Rocky Tuan, Vice-Chancellor and President, The Chinese University of Hong Kong.

Antony Leung said: “Dual circulation is officially designed as domestic consumption-driven economic rebalancing, while keeping China open to international trade and investment. This is an area that may have a significant impact on the healthcare industry in China. Hong Kong’s plans to develop a healthcare hub, especially in the Northern Metropolis, will help establish synergy with other cities in the Greater Bay Area and provide a lot of opportunities for the healthcare industry.”

Claudia Suessmuth Dyckerhoff said: “Access to care can be secured not only by pushing for very low pharmaceutical and diagnostic prices, but also by more innovative insurance schemes. I think the two worlds have to come together to make innovation more accessible and obviously more affordable.”
