She declared that ‘our world is greatly imbalanced’ with serious threat from commutable disease pandemics and non-commutable diseases such as diabetes and other disorders related to metabolic syndromes. She called for a global effort to tackle these mounting health problems. She also congratulated UK in giving a further £814 million to GAVI for vaccinations for children in danger of dying. The UK has already pledged over £3 billion to international health programmes. She confirmed her commitment to multilateralism in her health policy when she was questioned by a journalist from The Lancet.
Andrew Lansley, UK Secretary for Health, affirmed Britain’s commitment to encouraging and succeeding in the development of life science and to combat ‘the rising tide of lifestyle-related diseases’. He said that ‘acting together is the only way forward’. Since $3 trillion were invested in healthcare worldwide he stated that ‘no country can escape the logic of global inter-dependence’ and that ‘acting together is the only way forward’. He also stated that Britain should be proud of its pursuit in a ‘global health agenda integrated with her foreign policy’.
Professor Mei was invited to attend the meeting as Chairman of the Chinese Medical Council (CMC, UK) and the Chairman of Chinese Medical Institute and Register (CMIR, UK) where he met Professor Dame Sally Davies, Director General of Research and Development and Chief Scientific Adviser, Department of Health and NHS.
During the meeting the China business model was also discussed, recalling the Chinese Minister of Health saying that ‘we (China) will get old before we get rich’ and the importance of achieving a world that gives medicine to everyone. This affirmed the WHO’s slogan of ‘health to all’.
