It is generally believed by the experts that it is of vital significance to

share information and experiences as well as to have cross-border and

cross-region cooperation in the course of the war against the COVID-19

pandemic. The World Health Organization (WHO) has done a lot of work to this

end by giving full play to its role and by coordinating the global responses.

Although different countries may have different systems and cultures, and the

process of pandemic development and transmission may not be the same, yet the

basic law of prevention and response is more or less the same for the same kind

of sudden outbreak of infectious diseases. The international community should

learn from each other and mutually abide the law in order to form the largest

joint force to fight the pandemic and to eventually overcome the pandemic.

The experts also expressed that the Global Health Forum can play an important

role as a platform for the global fight against the pandemic at this special

period when the COVID-19 pandemic is still raging around the world. The 2nd

conference adjusted its agenda and topics for discussion in accordance with the

development situation of the pandemic and made the relevant plans to ensure the

health of the guests participating in the conference, control the imported

cases and prevent the rebound of the pandemic.

Global Health Forum was set up by Boao Forum for Asia in 2018, and its 1st

conference was successfully held in Qingdao, Shandong in June 2019. The GHF has

built a high-end platform for exchanges and cooperation in the field of health

for political, commercial and academic circles around the world, and has

promoted the construction of the world's health systems and the development of

the health industry. The 2nd Conference of Global Health Forum of Boao Forum

for Asia (GHF) is to be held in Qingdao, Shandong Province in October, 2020.
