Hey everyone! In a remarkable step towards innovative healthcare, the China-UK Pediatric Rare Disease Forum opened in Chongqing on July 5. Co-hosted by the Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University and the UK's Department for Business and Trade, this event united top pediatric experts from both sides, all aiming to tackle rare childhood illnesses that affect millions worldwide 🌏.
Rare diseases present a huge challenge—especially when, in China alone, an estimated 20 million people are affected, with 70% being children. Through international collaboration, experts are sharing fresh ideas to improve early diagnosis, treatment, and care, turning obstacles into opportunities for change 🚀.
This inspiring forum mirrors the spirit of our dynamic, tech-savvy communities in South and Southeast Asia, where innovation and global teamwork drive progress every day. Stay curious and engaged, because together we can pave the way to a healthier future 😄!
