東博會一心移“疫”：加快構建中國—東盟衛生健康共同體

關秋韻

盡管中國與東盟地區的經濟在逐漸復蘇，甚至在貿易合作方面保持著逆勢上揚、穩步前行的勢頭，但每日仍在增長的確診病例、疑似病例人數，不斷新添的防疫措施指令等，仍讓人們意識到：口罩還未能摘下，抗擊疫情依然會是未來一段時間內社會發展的大背景。

當前，以新冠肺炎疫情為主的傳染病防控仍是中國與東盟國家的重要任務，而雙方在公共衛生健康領域開展的諸多合作，正是這份“考卷”得以被打上高分的訣竅。中國—東盟博覽會（以下簡稱東博會）長期關注雙方衛生合作，積極搭建平臺，圍繞國際合作、聯防聯控、進一步提升區域衛生管理水平等問題進行探討。從成果上來看，東博會的后續影響力正在為加快構建中國—東盟衛生健康共同體賦能。

萬丈高樓平地起

隨著中國—東盟友好關系邁入成熟穩定的“而立之年”，加快構建中國—東盟衛生健康共同體成為中國與東盟合作中的重點領域。不積跬步無以至千里，構建這一共同體的“地基”中有著東博會的努力。

借助東博會的平臺，中國—東盟廣泛開展在醫療衛生領域的交流合作，舉辦了中國—東盟傳統醫藥高峰論壇、中國—東盟國際口腔醫學交流與合作論壇等系列活動，為中國與東盟各國在醫療衛生方面的交往營造了良好氛圍;并創新性于2016年整合資源舉辦了首屆中國—東盟衛生合作論壇，形成了“每兩年舉辦一屆”的機制，自此打通了一個全新的中國—東盟衛生合作交流渠道。

過去的兩屆中國—東盟衛生合作論壇上通過并發布了《中國—東盟衛生合作與發展南寧宣言》與《“健康絲綢之路”建設暨第二屆中國—東盟衛生合作論壇合作倡議》，通過文書形式讓雙方衛生合作得到進一步鞏固;同時成立了中國—東盟醫院合作聯盟，設立多個專科聯盟，搭建多個學科平臺;簽署了共建藥用植物種植基地、民族醫藥特色診療技術培訓中心等6個合作協議。

衛生領域多邊合作關系的建立，不僅能為各國的政府官員、專家學者、企業代表提供一個交流合作、取長補短的平臺，更能加深各國參與全球衛生治理的廣度與深度。歷屆東博會在公共衛生領域的影響貢獻，為2020年舉辦的第三屆中國—東盟衛生合作論壇的突破性成果架橋鋪路，也為后續加快構建中國—東盟衛生健康共同體打下堅實基礎。

疫情之下的中國—東盟衛生健康合作

疫情之下，萬眾期盼合作樂章再奏新曲。第17屆東博會的成功舉辦，讓中國與東盟國家在衛生健康領域的務實合作項目擲地有聲。

作為第17屆東博會框架下的重要論壇，第三屆中國—東盟衛生合作論壇下設疫情防控、醫院管理、衛生應急等六大分論壇，各醫療領域專家學者云集，為中國—東盟衛生健康合作“傳經送寶”，也為目前傳染病防治的舉措創新建言獻策，并取得了務實成果。

在第三屆中國—東盟衛生合作論壇上發布了《第三屆中國—東盟衛生合作論壇倡議》，簽署了《中國印尼衛生合作執行計劃》，倡議內容豐富，為下一步中國—東盟開展疫情防控合作注入新動力;在2020中國—東盟醫院管理合作論壇上，廣西醫科大學第一附屬醫院攜手中國邁瑞醫療有限公司、中國銀聯股份有限公司、中國廣西燦輝信息咨詢公司與緬甸內比都綜合醫院、越南越德友誼醫院、老撾友誼醫院進行云簽約，并與微軟（中國）等多方機構共同建立了跨境醫療合作平臺。

中國醫院協會副會長方來英在2020中國—東盟醫院管理合作論壇上指出，中國與東盟各國地緣相近、人緣相親、文緣相通、氣候相似，疾病譜也大致相同，在醫療衛生領域有著廣泛的合作基礎和廣闊的合作前景。論壇將加強中國與東盟各國智慧醫療領域的合作與探討，促進相互學習，提升醫療服務的可及性，造福各國百姓。這對于共同應對東南亞地區公共衛生問題、構建“中國—東盟衛生健康共同體”具有重大意義。

與此同時，院校合作也成為中國—東盟衛生健康合作的一大亮點。例如廣西醫科大學口腔醫學院在第17屆東博會期間與柬埔寨、老撾、緬甸、泰國等有關口腔院校簽訂了友好合作協議，互派師生交流，并計劃到東盟國家開展義診、公益手術等免費醫療服務，形成交流機制，達成長期合作意向，為疫情常態化下的急診管理、衛生應急技能培訓以及廣西立體化救援體系建設提供實踐技術支持。

值得一提的是，第17屆東博會實體展還首增公共防疫及衛生展區，規模達1100㎡，重點展示了廣西大健康產業上下游相關內容，如防護用品及裝備、防護材料與生產設備、防疫消毒及清潔用品、防護設備及軟件系統等，推動廣西醫用防疫物資產業規模化、產業化、集聚化發展，助力大健康產業拓展東盟國家市場。據悉，公共防疫及衛生展區還吸引多家廣西本土企業和來自重慶、武漢等地的新冠疫苗研發企業以及核酸檢測試劑盒生產企業參展，為公眾普及基本衛生醫療知識的同時，也擴大了疾病藥品研發機構交流空間，服務了中國—東盟攜手抗擊疫情和衛生健康合作。

行而不輟 未來可期

第17屆東博會的內容方式創新與優勢成果顯現，為雙方在衛生健康合作領域的探討增加了新渠道、提高了可行性。因此，如何發揮其平臺優勢，壘土成垛、擇高而上，是各方需要思考的議題。

東博會作為政府間的官方對話合作平臺，更應發揮其自身影響力，擴大對各國民眾的輿情宣傳力度，做好突發公共衛生防控政策輿論導向和科學知識普及;將東博會作為保持中國與東盟間信息溝通交流的重要渠道，及時通報各國疫情最新動態和防治情況;增加針對衛生醫療合作方面的研討會議與論壇數量，邀請各國醫療領域專家作相關的學術經驗分享與研討，加強疫情防控、治療、研究的政策對話與交流，推動開展更多共同商定的衛生合作項目;支持受疫情影響的企業、特別是中小微企業發展，發揮數字經濟合作及云上東博會等平臺作用，促進疫情期間的經貿活動等等。

新年已至，行而不輟，則未來可期。我們期待中國與東盟繼續將東博會作為雙方衛生合作滑翔騰飛的跑道，共建更高水平的中國—東盟衛生健康共同體。

CAEXPO Accelerates the Construction of China-ASEAN Health Community

Written by Guan Qiuyun / Translated by Mo Tingting

Although the economy of China and ASEAN is gradually recovering， and even trade cooperation keeps rising against the trend and moving forward steadily， the increasing number of confirmed cases and suspected cases at home and abroad， as well as the new instructions on epidemic prevention also make people realize that epidemic prevention and control is still the background of social development in a long time.

At present， disease prevention and control with the focus on the COVID-19 is still an important task for China and ASEAN. And it has yielded fruitful results， the secret of which is that both sides have always been strengthening cooperation in public health. The China-ASEAN Expo （hereinafter referred to as the CAEXPO） has long focused on health cooperation between the two sides， actively built platforms， and discussed issues such as international cooperation， joint prevention and control， and further improvement of the regional health management level. We can see from the achievements that the influence of the CAEXPO is empowering the construction of China-ASEAN health community.

Tall buildings rise from the ground

As the friendly relationship between China and ASEAN has entered a mature and stable age， accelerating the construction of China-ASEAN health community has become a key area in China-ASEAN cooperation. A journey of 1，000 miles begins with a single step. CAEXPO makes great efforts in laying a foundation for building the China-ASEAN health community.

With the help of the CAEXPO， China and ASEAN carried out extensive exchanges and cooperation in medical health and held a series of activities such as the China-ASEAN Summit Forum on Traditional Medicine and China-ASEAN Forum on Dentistry， which created a good atmosphere for exchanges between China and ASEAN countries in medical health. Besides， both sides innovatively organized the first China-ASEAN Health Cooperation Forum in 2016 by integrating resources， thus forming a mechanism of “holding one session every two years”. Since then， a new channel of China-ASEAN health cooperation and exchange has been set up.

In the past two sessions of the China-ASEAN Health Cooperation Forum， the Nanning Declaration on China-ASEAN Health Cooperation and the Cooperation Initiative of the 2nd China-ASEAN Forum on Health Cooperation Towards a Health Silk Road were approved and launched， which further consolidated the health cooperation between the two sides. At the same time， the China-ASEAN hospital cooperation alliance has been established， several specialist alliances have been set up， and multi-disciplinary platforms have been built. Besides， six cooperation agreements have been signed， including co-construction of medicinal plant planting base， and diagnosis and treatment technology training center with ethnic medicine characteristics.

The establishment of multilateral cooperation in health can not only provide a platform for exchange and cooperation among government officials， experts， scholars， and business representatives， but also deepen the breadth and depth of the countries participation in global health governance. The impact and contribution of the previous CAEXPO in public health pave the way for the breakthrough achievements made by the 3rd China-ASEAN Health Cooperation Forum in 2020 and also lays a solid foundation for accelerating the construction of China-ASEAN health community.

China-ASEAN health cooperation under the epidemic

Under the epidemic， people are looking forward to seeking cooperation between China and ASEAN in new fields. The successful holding of the 17th CAEXPO made cooperation projects in health between both sides become practical.

As an important forum under the framework of the 17th CAEXPO， the 3rd China-ASEAN Health Cooperation Forum has six sub-forums， including epidemic prevention and control， hospital management， and health emergency. Experts and scholars from various medical fields gathered to pass on wisdom for China-ASEAN health cooperation， and also to offer suggestions for the current measures of infectious disease prevention and control， which have achieved practical results.

In the 3rd China-ASEAN Health Cooperation Forum， the 3rd China-ASEAN Health Cooperation Forum Initiative was released， and the Implementation Plan of China-Indonesia Health Cooperation was signed. The rich content of the Initiative injected new impetus into the China-ASEAN epidemic prevention and control cooperation in the future. In the 2020 China-ASEAN Forum on Hospital Management Cooperation， the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University， together with Mindray International Medical Co.， Ltd.， UnionPay Co.， Ltd.， and Guangxi Canhui Information Consulting Co.， Ltd. in China， signed cloud contracts with NaypyiTaw General Hospital in Myanmar， Vietnam-Germany Friendship Hospital in Vietnam and Friendship Hospital in Laos and established cross-border medical cooperation platforms with Microsoft （China） and other institutions.

Fang Laiying， Vice President of Chinese Hospital Association， pointed out at the 2020 China-ASEAN Forum on Hospital Management Cooperation that China and ASEAN countries are close to each other in geography and boast human affinity， cultural affinity， similar climate， and roughly the same disease spectrum， thus having a broad cooperation foundation and prospects in? health care. The forum will strengthen cooperation and discussion in smart health care between China and ASEAN countries， promote mutual learning， enhance the accessibility of medical services， and benefit the people of all countries. This is of great significance to jointly deal with the public health problems in Southeast Asia and build the China-ASEAN health community.

At the same time， university cooperation has become a highlight of China-ASEAN health cooperation. For example， the Institute of Dentistry of Guangxi Medical University signed friendly cooperation agreements with relevant dentistry colleges and universities in Cambodia， Laos， Myanmar， Thailand， etc. during the 17th CAEXPO. It plans to exchange teachers and students， and to carry out free medical services such as free consultation and public welfare surgery in ASEAN countries， so as to form an exchange mechanism， reach long-term cooperation， and provide practical technical support for emergency management， health emergency skills training， and the construction of three-dimensional rescue system in Guangxi under the epidemic.

It is worth mentioning that the physical exhibition of the 17th CAEXPO also added public epidemic prevention and health exhibition area for the first time， with the scale of 1，100 square meters and the focus on displaying upstream and downstream industries of the big health industry in Guangxi， such as protective articles and equipment， production equipment， software systems， etc.， so as to promote the scale， industrialization， and integration of anti-epidemic medical material industry in Guangxi and help the big health industry expand ASEAN markets. It is reported that the public epidemic prevention and health exhibition area has attracted a number of local enterprises， and COVID-19 vaccine development enterprises from Chongqing， Wuhan， and other places as well as nucleic acid test kit manufacturers. The exhibition zone not only popularizes basic health and medical knowledge for the public， but also expands the exchange of disease drug development institutions and serves China-ASEAN health cooperation and jointly fighting against the epidemic.

Making unremitting efforts and the future will be promising

Content and method innovation and outstanding achievements of the 17th CAEXPO show that new channels have been added and feasibility has been improved in the health cooperation between the two sides. Therefore， how to give full play to the CAEXPOs advantages and make greater achievements are the issues that all parties concerned.

As an official platform for dialogue and cooperation between governments， CAEXPO should exert its own influence， guiding public opinions on public health emergency prevention and control policies properly and popularizing scientific knowledge. Also， CAEXPO should take itself as an important channel to maintain information communication between China and ASEAN and timely report the latest situation of epidemic and prevention and control in all countries. Besides， it has to increase seminars and forums on health and medical cooperation， invite medical experts from other countries to share and discuss relevant academic experience， strengthen policy dialogue and exchange on epidemic prevention and control， treatment， and research， promote the development of health cooperation projects that is agreed by both sides. Finally， the CAEXPO has to support the development of enterprises affected by the epidemic， especially small and medium-sized enterprises， and give full play to digital economy cooperation and on-line CAEXPO， so as to promote economic and trade activities during the epidemic.

Chinese New Year is approaching. If we make unremitting efforts， we will have a promising future. We hope that China and ASEAN will continue to take the CAEXPO as a driver for health cooperation between the two sides and build a high-level China-ASEAN health community.
