Chen Cang didn’t stay long at Xiao Runfang’s house.
But at noon, Xiao Runfang took Chen Cang and his family out for a simple al!
After the al, Xiao Runfang smiled and said, "Yueyue, would you like to co work at the Health Commission?"
"Now that you have a child, working here won’t be too tiring. Clinical work is really tough, just look at how busy Chen Cang is."
Qin Yue laughed imdiately, "Thank you, Director, but... the child is still young, and I’m a little uneasy about it."
Xiao Runfang nodded, "Yes, that’s true. When the child starts school, you should co to the capital, since the resources here are better."
"Your parents are about to retire too; they can help with picking up and dropping off the child then."
Indeed, although Qin Xiaoyuan is doing well in his career, he will retire soon.
Xiao Runfang continued, "Also, Chen Cang, I might retire next year at the latest, maybe even this year. Deng Gaoyuan should take over."
"You should visit him when you have ti. After all, you have so connections, and you’ll need to interact in the future."
Chen Cang nodded.
Over ti, Xiao Runfang increasingly felt like an elder.
After saying this, Xiao Runfang didn’t shy away from Qin Yue, and directly said, "This ti I called you over to have a eting about the national action plan on antibiotic resistance."
"This plan started in 2016, and it’s been eight years now. The original intention was to phase out the use of antibiotics in feed additives gradually, and strictly control clinical antibiotics."
"But it seems unlikely that we’ll complete this plan."
"As the representative of the new generation of doctors in our country, you naturally have a say in these matters, and your views are important."
Chen Cang nodded and accepted without refusal.
With great power cos great responsibility.
But then Xiao Runfang added, "There’s another thing. You need to represent the country at the CIZR antibiotic special organization’s triennial eting in May."
"But I’ll tell you in advance, this is no cushy job, because when you go, many country representatives will criticize us."
Chen Cang suddenly chuckled, "No problem, if soone criticizes us, we’ll just push back directly!"
Xiao Runfang laughed outright, "You know what I like about you?"
"I just like how you don’t take things to heart, feeling like nothing matters!"
Chen Cang smiled.
Isn’t it just about antibiotics?
It can be resolved in a matter of minutes.
Chen Cang had long arranged for staff to study antibiotic alternatives.
They already have finished products now.
It’s February now, so there’s enough ti before the May special conference on antibiotics.
Then they can see how high our antibiotic substitution rate is!
...
...
The eting arrived as scheduled the next day.
Attending this eting were key figures who could influence the national healthcare developnt plan.
Without a doubt, Chen Cang was among them.
In fact, these attendees ford a think tank for the national healthcare industry.
Zhong Ran was among them too.
The old leader personally chaired the eting.
"Everyone is here, I’ve gathered you today mainly to discuss antibiotic issues."
In recent years, due to the misuse of traditional antibiotics, the problems of drug residue and resistance have beco increasingly serious, posing a constant threat to human health, making the search for new antibacterial drugs urgent.
Various special plans initiated by the state since 2016 have also been implented.
However, reducing antibiotics in clinical practice makes it really difficult to control illnesses.
Moreover, many patients actively request antibiotics!
Back in 2011, data from relevant departnts already showed:
In China, the patient antibiotic usage rate is 70%, twice that of Western countries!
But less than 20% truly need it. Prophylactic use of antibiotics is a classic example of misuse.
This misuse has resulted in Escherichia coli’s resistance to quinolone antibiotics in our clinics reaching sixty percent!
This alarming figure has already caught everyone’s attention!
Of course, this isn’t solely a dostic issue.
It’s actually a global problem.
That’s why an international organization related to antibiotics, CIZR, was established.
This eting isn’t only about discussion; more importantly, it aims to determine the future developnt direction.
Additionally, the state will provide corresponding policy, funding, and talent support.
"Let’s report on the progress, please." The old leader spoke to everyone after saying that.
After the leader finished speaking, Xiao Runfang took charge.
Each relevant person began reporting the data.
In fact, compared to 2016, antibiotics have been strictly restricted; many primary hospitals no longer allow their use.
However, addressing symptoms isn’t addressing the root cause!
To fundantally solve the problem, it’s not about avoiding use, but about finding alternatives.
Just like the ergence of products like plastic.
They indeed polluted the environnt.
No matter how you discourage using plastic bags, it won’t solve the root problem.
The root lies in using technological advancents to find biodegradable substitutes for plastic bags.
That’s the key point.
The eting was full of vibrant discussions.
Everyone represented an organization.
From the Health Commission, physician associations, biological research institutes, the Chinese Academy of Sciences...
And so on and so forth!
The eting lasted a long ti.
Chen Cang listened with keen interest!
The attendees were all top figures, and their words were profound.
Such as antibiotic managent.
Such as the research on antimicrobial peptides, substituting antibiotics...
And so on!
But these topics were too abstract and vast for Chen Cang to express agreent or disagreent.
Plus, it mainly depends on one’s perspective.
It was also Chen Cang’s first ti attending such a eting to determine the nation’s antibiotic developnt direction, so he was cautious about what he said.
After all...
It affects more than just a person or two.
It’s a macro-policy!
After everyone had spoken, Xiao Runfang looked at Chen Cang because he hadn’t said anything from the start.
So, Xiao Runfang couldn’t help but ask, "Professor Chen, what are your thoughts?"
With Xiao Runfang’s gaze, everyone shifted their attention to Chen Cang.
Indeed, compared to others present, Chen Cang was truly a junior.
They were all heavyweight figures like Zhong Ran, excelling in their fields.
Chen Cang nodded and spoke into the microphone, "Sorry, this is actually my first ti attending such a eting, to be honest, I’m a bit nervous."
"The seniors here have made very valid high-level points, and I agree with macro-control..."
"But... I’m not very familiar with the bigger picture, so I’ll just share so feasible plans from my perspective."
"My lab has been working on a bacteriophage project for quite so ti, and we’ve identified many antibiotic alternatives for bacteria."
"Such as Listeria, Staphylococcus aureus... and so on!"
