On February 11th, Cao Xin’an and his delegation went to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine to visit and comfort frontline researchers. They had discussions and exchanges with the hospital’s main leaders, emergency research projects and project leaders, as well as representatives of some participating units.

For the next step of scientific research and research work, Cao Xin’an emphasized that scientific and effective response to the epidemic is crucial for national security and people’s health. Medical researchers should shoulder their heavy responsibilities with a stronger sense of mission, establish a holistic view, grasp major contradictions, highlight “usage orientation”, and “focus on practical results rather than papers”. The primary goal of emergency scientific research is to “reduce mortality rate, improve cure rate, and reduce infection rate”. Focusing on practical needs such as clinical diagnosis and treatment, drug screening, vaccine research and development, and rapid diagnosis, we should leverage the strength of our team to carry out intelligent research and development, Strive to produce results quickly and apply them to the frontline of clinical treatment.
It is understood that in order to implement the decision-making and deployment of the provincial party committee and government on the epidemic prevention and control work in the province, and to effectively play the supporting role of technology in the fight against the epidemic in the province, the Provincial Department of Science and Technology has launched two batches of 18 special projects, totaling 6 projects, based on the principle of urgency and priority, and has organized and coordinated advantageous scientific research forces in the province to carry out joint emergency response.
