After welcoming the delegation, YANG briefly reviewed LZU’s recent development. He emphasized LZU’s commitment to openness and international collaboration, particularly in the localized application of cutting-edge medical technologies. YANG looks forward to deeper cooperation with the world in areas such as talent exchange and expert employment. He also proposed taking the opportunity of the upcoming Belt and Road Medical Conference in August to explore new models of global cooperation in perioperative medicine.
Hans expressed his gratitude to LZU and its First Hospital, and praised the fruitful outcomes of the collaboration between LZU and the Academy. He highlighted LZU’s pivotal role in promoting and applying ERAS technology, which has set up a significant platform for improving primary medical care in Gansu and even Northwest China. He hopes that the First Hospital of LZU will become the first INIPC member hospital in China, paving the way for deeper cooperation in scientific research, talent cultivation, and discipline development, so as to jointly promote perioperative medicine.
The visit marks a new level of cooperation between LZU and a leading international medical institution, and underscores LZU’s important position in the international medical field.
