The rapid technological advancements in China’s healthcare sector are proving to be a major benefit for other developing nations, as stated by Muhammed Shahbaz, the President of the China Pakistan Medical Association.
Shahbaz highlighted the significant progress in areas like vaccine research, diagnostic capabilities, biotechnology, AI, Big Data, and telemedicine that have paved the way for enhanced cooperation among countries.
Acknowledging the need for improvements in less-developed regions, Shahbaz emphasized the importance of upgrading basic healthcare infrastructure to provide better access to medical services for the general population.
He also mentioned his efforts to introduce radiation oncology treatment facilities from China to Pakistan, a significant step considering the current availability of only Gamma Knife and linear accelerator treatment options in the country.
The collaboration between China and Pakistan in the healthcare sector is poised to bring about transformative changes that will not only benefit the two countries but also set a precedent for similar partnerships in the future.
