Because of the endorsement of GlaxoSmithKline and the fact that the three hospitals are partner hospitals, Wellington Hospital is very welcoming to the China Xiangjiang medical team.
The magic of the quadruple therapy was witnessed by everyone in Wellington Hospital.
As the first hospital to show goodwill to Chinese doctors, they also received very generous rewards.
Now the gastroenterology department of Wellington Hospital has become a European center for the treatment of gastroenterology diseases. Rich people from all over Europe flock here, which has also boosted the hospital's global reputation.
This time, the hospital director, Mr. Fisher, personally welcomed the Chinese doctors at the hospital gate, showing the importance the English attach to them.
In order to build momentum, GlaxoSmithKline invited media from all over Europe to attend.
At the entrance of Wellington Hospital, President Fisher and President Chen Xia held a joint press conference.
When the reporters heard that the hospital that had once created a miracle in treating stomach problems was once again bringing a medical team to treat the recent influenza outbreak, they were also very excited and curious.
When Chen Xia and Fischer stood together in front of the reporters, the flash lights suddenly exploded into a ball, blinding Chen Xia's eyes.
Chen Xia is not a big star and has never faced so many flashes of light, so she instinctively wanted to block them with her hands.
Knowing his young disciple's temper, Ren Yuanfei, who was always keeping a close eye on his demeanor, coughed twice to remind him to pay attention to his influence and not to embarrass the Chinese people.
Chen Xia was speechless. Becoming a member of the "national team" was a hassle.
This time, the delegation came out in the name of China's Ministry of Health. The leader was the director of China's International Cooperation Department. In addition, a vice president of Zhijiang Medical University, a deputy director of the Provincial Health Department, and other officials all followed.
Chen Xia is the head of the medical team, but he has no status in the entire visiting team. He is just a department-level cadre and is on the sidelines.
Since you can't do small tricks, then pretend to be cool.
Chen Xia smiled and nodded to the reporters, then took out the speech he had prepared in advance.
He started by talking about the friendship between the two countries, then expressed his deep sympathy for the European people suffering from the epidemic, and then talked about China's achievements in the medical field. Chen Xia almost fell asleep while talking.
But he had to finish speaking because the draft was prepared by the Ministry of Health and represented the government's attitude, and not a single word could be changed.
Then came the speech by Fisher, the director of Wellington Hospital. It was full of welcome, expectations, thanks, etc.
Finally, it is time for reporters to ask questions.
The reporters had been waiting impatiently for a long time. When they heard the host say that they could ask questions, hundreds of reporters at the scene raised their hands instantly, and many of them started shouting.
"President Chen, I wonder why you and your team are so confident in coming to Europe to help fight the flu epidemic? As we all know, there's currently no effective treatment for the flu. Are you here to capitalize on the government's influence?"
The first question was not very friendly.
Chen Xia smiled and said:
“Fighting the epidemic is not a matter for any particular country or continent. We are currently living in a global village. If one country is hit by the epidemic, other countries will also be affected, unless we close our borders. But is that possible?
So helping Europe is also helping ourselves. We saw the suffering of the European people in the news and felt the same pain, so we decided to come and help the European people beat back the flu and protect everyone's health."
These words were said in a very official manner. The leaders of China's Ministry of Health all nodded with a smile after hearing them. Even Ren Yuanfei breathed a sigh of relief that his apprentice had not caused any trouble.
But the reporter was not satisfied with this answer. He said a lot but did not answer the key questions.
"President Chen, you haven't answered yet. What new treatments and drugs do you have in China that would give you the confidence to come to Europe? You should know that the most advanced laboratories and pharmaceutical companies in Europe and the United States are completely helpless against influenza."
Chen Xia nodded. "Since you're here, of course we have a killer weapon against the flu. We in China have extensive clinical experience and detailed and thorough research on the flu."
The reporters became even more excited when they heard this. "Mr. Chen, what is your special medicine? What is the treatment efficiency?"
Europeans and Americans are different from Chinese people. People in Confucian cultural circles like to be modest and accommodating. They are reluctant to say too much and think about leaving room for maneuver.
But this kind of thinking does not suit the taste of Europeans and Americans.
So Chen Xia was straightforward and boasted a bit: "In our country, the treatment efficiency has reached 88%."
There was a commotion below, and immediately there was a lot of discussion.
This nearly 90% efficacy rate is extremely high, and even officials from the Ministry of Health in England and doctors at Wellington Hospital were surprised and puzzled.
Only a few people from GlaxoSmithKline nodded and immediately reported the latest news they heard on the scene to the board of directors.
After a brief moment of surprise, the reporters immediately started asking frantic questions:
"President Chen, is there any possibility that you are bragging? How can poor China solve a problem that Europe can't solve?"
Chen Xia shrugged. "You reporters asked the same question when I first came to England with the Helicobacter pylori treatment team."
The doctors at Wellington Hospital and some reporters at the scene all laughed softly.
At this time, a reporter asked:
"Excuse me, Dean Chen, what is the name of the special medicine you brought this time? Has it passed clinical trials? Does the data stand up to scrutiny?"
Chen Xia glanced at the reporter, and the reporter blinked. It was obvious that this was a hired helper hired by Chen Shuqin.
This is a very good opportunity to make an appearance. How could everyone at Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceuticals miss such a chance for free publicity?
Chen Xia then replied with a smile:
"This time we brought an effective drug for treating influenza, scientifically called Oseltamivir. This drug can specifically inhibit neuraminidase and has a very clear therapeutic and preventive effect on influenza caused by subtypes of influenza viruses such as H6N5 and H9N2.
Our experimental data shows that patients who take oseltamivir within 24 hours of onset will have their illness course shortened by 50% and their symptoms alleviated by 80%. As a clinical medication, oseltamivir has a protection rate of 80%-90% for those exposed to the influenza virus."
When Chen Xia reported one data after another, many people applauded. The data was really too optimistic.
But then again, no matter how beautiful the words sound, it is more practical than applying them clinically to see the effects.
GlaxoSmithKline and the English Department of Health immediately invited experts from the European Community countries and the American Center for Disease Control and Prevention to witness the treatment of the Chinese doctors.
This model is exactly the same as the original quadruple therapy.
The medical teams in China and Hong Kong are ready to show off their skills in front of their counterparts from other countries.
