Part 1: Enhancing childcare in China beyond the patient

Children’s health concerns the happiness of families and the future of the nation. It is crucial to strengthen the development of pediatric healthcare services and alleviate the shortage of pediatric medical services.

This report focuses on:

• policy background of pediatric health service development in China;


• current situation and prominent issues in the development of pediatric health services in China;


• solutions to improve the development of pediatric health services in China.

The general principle of the development of pediatric health services in China is clear functions, reasonable layout, appropriate scale, and high efficiency. China has established a five-level children’s medical and health service system at the national, regional, provincial, municipal and county levels.

 

Part 2: Full Cycle Safety and Quality Control Model based on the National Registry Platform

The presentation will focus on safety issues of human implants and their full-cycle management model based on the national registry platform.

Human implants, such as artificial joints， pacemakers, mesh are used to replace and repair damaged organs. Major safety issues include material biocompatibility, mechanical failure, infection risk, systemic complications, and manufacturing defects. To address these issues, we try to proposes a full-cycle management model based on a registry platform，taking the pelvic floor implant for instance. This model involves establishing cross-department working groups, creating a nationwide standardized database, standardizing operational procedures, providing training and education, implementing supervision and feedback mechanisms, and ensuring policy support. The model emphasizes the transition of clinical doctors from passive users to active regulators, thereby enhancing the safety of implants and maximizing patient benefits.

Part 3: Digital medicine as a whole system approach

Digital health represents a transformative approach to healthcare, leveraging technology to address global challenges in medical resource distribution and patient care. Digitalization, fundamental to this transformation, revolutionizes medicine by enhancing data-driven practices. It empowers diverse healthcare ecosystems and drives advancements in fields such as ophthalmology through intelligent screening, diagnostic tools and treatment planners. This lecture explores how digital medicine, at the forefront of technological innovation, catalyzes improvements in healthcare delivery and population health outcomes, underscoring its pivotal role in shaping the future of global healthcare systems.
