Excellencies, honourable Minister Li Bin, provincial leaders, directors-general of provincial health and family planning, ladies and gentlemen,
In the eyes of the world, China is increasingly seen as a model for development at many levels.
The world’s second largest economy grew rapidly yet reliably. China opened its markets to liberalized trade only when its own economy was mature enough to compete internationally. Countries with fragile economies thinking about entering trade agreements should learn from this experience.
The world’s most populous country used its steady economic growth to lift millions of its people out of poverty. The fact that the Millennium Development Goal for poverty reduction was met depended greatly on China’s achievement.
In reducing threats to health, some of China’s past achievements have been spectacular.
Using medical doctors, barefoot doctors, practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine, health inspectors, and medical staff at factories, this vast and populous country eradicated smallpox two decades before the rest of the world. In the three years prior to its last case, China administered smallpox vaccine to more than 500 million people.
That achievement established an attitude at WHO that persists today: China can do anything whatsoever it decides to do.
Within a decade, China moved from a heavily criticized response at the start of the 2003 SARS outbreak to top performance, and international gratitude, as it managed the emergence of the H7N9 avian influenza virus.
Having built the world’s largest real-time electronic disease surveillance system, China provided a model of immediate, transparent, and complete reporting. Your scientists and epidemiologists quickly published reports in the world’s most prestigious medical journals, showcasing the country’s world-class research capacity.
The government’s response to the Shandong vaccine scandal was likewise rapid and sweeping. The scale of the scandal was large, involving 2 million doses of improperly stored vaccines administered to children and adults.
Within a month after news of the scandal broke, the vaccine circulation and immunization law was updated by the State Council to include reforms that addressed both the immediate and root causes of the scandal. Health authorities also took steps to restore public confidence in the safety of vaccines and appreciation for the life-saving protection they confer.
China values social stability and understands that inclusive social services, also for health, contribute to social cohesion and stability.
Over the last decade, China embarked on the biggest health system reform the world has ever seen, aiming to extend health services beyond the country’s prosperous urban centres.
At the start of the century, less than one-third of China’s population had access to health insurance. Now nearly 100% do. This equality in access to health services underpins social harmony.
In essence, China has given its huge population a safety net that protects people from being impoverished by the costs of health care. This makes a tremendous contribution to a fair and prosperous society.
Ladies and gentlemen,
China enjoys a special status in its engagement in international health development. What the country does well at home carries a distinctive prestige when exported elsewhere.
For most of the developing world, China is a fellow traveller that faced and overcame similar development challenges not so long ago. This shared experience creates a rapport not always enjoyed by wealthy development partners.
Centuries ago, the Silk Road carried knowledge about traditional Chinese medical cures along the trade routes from China to India, the Middle East, and Europe. Today, the One Belt, One Road Initiative continues this tradition as a modern instrument for economic diplomacy.
As a distinct strategy for development, the initiative promotes international cooperation in the Silk Road Spirit of "peace and cooperation, openness and inclusiveness, mutual learning and mutual benefit".
In matters of health, I see great potential for the
