On October 23, medical institutions from China and Pakistan signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to strengthen bilateral cooperation in healthcare, focusing on medical services, research, and technology.
The agreement, brokered by the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Hospital Cooperation Alliance, aims to enhance healthcare services and promote collaboration in areas such as liver echinococcosis treatment, medical imaging technology, and the application of research findings.
At the signing ceremony, representatives from the Kashgar Health Commission and local healthcare facilities, including the First People’s Hospital of Kashgar Prefecture, engaged with medical leaders from Pakistan’s Gilgit Provincial Hospital. Discussions covered international medicine, telemedicine, infectious disease control, artificial intelligence, big data, and the promotion of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
Officials from the Kashgar Health Commission emphasized their dedication to advancing international telemedicine platforms. This initiative combines “smart hospital” projects with multilateral online consultation services, aiming to break down geographic barriers and facilitate academic exchanges and personnel visits, thus enhancing healthcare systems along the Belt and Road.
