Respected leaders,
distinguished guests, colleagues in intensive care medicine,
Good morning,
everyone!
On behalf of the
Chinese Society of Critical Care Medicine and the Organizing Committee, I would
like to extend our sincere gratitude and warm welcome to all the leaders,
experts, guests, and colleagues in intensive care medicine who are attending
this conference. At the same time, I would like to congratulate the grand
opening of the 18th Critical Care Medicine Conference!
Since its
development in the early 1980s, the intensive care medicine profession in China
has undergone more than 40 years of growth. The predecessors of the first five
chairpersons and pioneers of intensive care medicine have laid a solid
foundation for the discipline's development and gradually established a
comprehensive medical, teaching, and research system. The past three years of
the COVID-19 epidemic have tempered our team and gained wide recognition from
the general public and the national medical administration. In recent years,
under the leadership of the Chinese Medical Association, the Critical Care
Medicine Branch has been committed to academic leadership: focusing on the
training of young physicians and the construction of research teams; promoting
the homogenization and standardization of intensive care medicine in
county-level, prefectur-level, and provincial-level hospitals; and empowering
young intensive care professionals through initiatives like the 5C and 5C PLUS.
The establishment of secondary codes for the National Natural Science
Foundation, the project aiming for enhancement of national difficult disease
diagnosis and treatment capabilities, the establishment of national clinical
research centers, and the construction of key laboratories in intensive care
medicine have greatly improved intensive care service capabilities. Recently,
the joint issuance of the document "Recommendations on Strengthening the
Construction of Intensive Care Medicine Service Capacity" by eight
ministries has brought greater development opportunities and challenges to
intensive care medicine in China.
Intensive care
medicine has developed into a major clinical discipline but is not yet a strong
clinical discipline. Compared with international peers and sister disciplines,
there are still many shortcomings, such as significant heterogeneity in the
development of the discipline, the absence of undergraduate education and
scientific degree codes for graduate students of intensive care medicine, a
shortage of high-level talents at the national level, immature research teams,
and a lack of original research results, which are currently hindering the
development of intensive care medicine.
This year marks
the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and is
also a critical year for achieving the goals of the "Fourteenth Five-Year
Plan". General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party
of China (CPC) and President Xi Jinping emphasized the acceleration of the
development of new productive forces and the solid promotion of high-quality
development during the eleventh collective study of the Politburo of the
Chinese Communist Party. The development of intensive care medicine also
requires high-quality leadership. Through initiatives such as the certification
of intensive care medicine specialist qualifications and core technical
training, the formulation of guidelines and consensus, the allocation of high-quality
intensive care resources to Grassroots healthcare institutions, and the
publication of an annual intensive care yearbook, we can promote the
homogenization and standardization of intensive care medicine; accelerate the
development of subspecialties and construct a comprehensive discipline system;
establish a teaching system that integrates undergraduate-graduate-residency
training and the "Four-in-One" intensive care medicine teaching
system; focus on independent innovation and achieve more breakthroughs in
high-quality clinical and basic research output, striving to seize the high
ground of discipline development; youth is the strength of the nation, young
intensive care professionals should inherit and carry forward the fine traditions,
dare to shoulder responsibilities, endure hardships, strive for innovation, and
achieve more outstanding talents at the national, ministerial, and
institutional levels. Make good use of academic exchange platforms such as
China-Europe, China-US, and the Belt and Road Initiative, actively participate
in international exchanges and cooperation, promote the synergistic effect of
domestic and international academic development, and create favorable
conditions for the vigorous development of intensive care medicine.
As the saying
goes, " Chengdu is a beautiful landscape city, is just like opened by the
Ninth Heaven, thousands of households are as beautiful as painting ".
Chengdu is known as the "Land of Abundance". Warmly welcome all the colleagues
in intensive care medicine, fellow colleagues in sister disciplines, and
international friends to gather in the city of abundance, enjoy the beauty of
Chengdu in spring, and discuss the present and future of intensive care
medicine!
Finally, I wish
the conference a complete success and all participants a fruitful experience!
Thank you. |
