There would be around five million Chinese nationals working in Pakistan by 2025, The News has reported.
To
meet the health needs of these Chinese nationals, a collaboration
between the Pakistani and Chinese medical universities, research
institutes and biotechnological firms under the China Pakistan Health
Corridor (CPHC) is being enhanced, a senior Pakistani public health
expert said on Tuesday.
Vice Chancellor Health Services Academy
(HSA) Prof Dr Shahzad Ali Khan told The News: "In order to meet the
health needs of millions of Chinese nationals working in Pakistan,
Afghanistan and Central Asian States, we need to have specialised health
facilities, based on both modern and traditional treatment systems.
"This
can only be achieved by enhancing collaboration between Pakistani and
Chinese health institutions under the China Pakistan Health Corridor."
He
said talks were in advanced stages to sign multiple, joint
collaborative agreements with different Chinese academic, research
institutes and biotechnological firms and added that during the 11th
Annual Public Health Conference in Islamabad on September 23-24, 2021,
several Memorandums of Understanding (MoU) would be signed between
Pakistan and Chinese institutions.
"We wish to train Pakistani
experts in modern medical technologies as well as traditional Chinese
medicines, which is a treatment of choice by millions of people in
China. These experts would not only fulfill the medical needs of
visiting Chinese nationals but also of the Pakistani people, who believe
in alternate medicine," Prof Shahzad Ali Khan said.
In the
first step, Chairman China Pakistan Health Corridor Dr Lee, also the VC,
HSA, will sign an MoU for the HSA's joining into the China Pakistan
Health Corridor, he said, adding the Department of Public Health of
Wuhan University will sign an MoU for multiple cooperation in the
academic partnership between China and Pakistan in the field of public
health.
