The first Asian medical and Health Summit Forum jointly organized by the Hong Kong SAR government and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council was held in Hong Kong on the 24th. With the theme of "meeting changes with tenacity and shaping a sustainable future", the forum invited more than 70 officials, experts and business leaders from all over the world to jointly explore the latest scientific research development and investment opportunities in the medical and health industry. The forum was held simultaneously at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center and online.

In her speech, Lin zhengyue'e said that the forum provided a valuable platform for government officials, scientists, health care practitioners, business leaders and investors to exchange views on issues such as the development and trend of global public health. She said that Hong Kong was willing to play a key role in promoting awareness of global health issues, pursuing excellence in research and medical innovation, and providing trade and investment opportunities for enterprises in Asia. Lin Jianyue said that as Asia plays an increasingly important role in the field of global health care, Hong Kong has three advantages as an international financial center, a world-class research center and an important bridge in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Bay area. It is an ideal scientific research and business platform for the development of global health care. The forum can provide the industry with a one-stop international exchange platform integrating medical treatment, investment, commerce and scientific research, and promote exchanges and cooperation between all parties. In her online speech, sumia swaminatan said that we have learned a lot of valuable experience from this epidemic to prevent possible future epidemics and ensure the strengthening of the health system.

The forum also has a special area for docking and exhibition of global medical and health investment projects, displaying the latest technologies of about 100 start-ups and medical and health enterprises, so as to provide a platform for exchange, negotiation and cooperation for participants from all over the world.
