At the Boao Forum for Asia’s Global Health Forum, Petra Khoury, Director of the Health and Care Department at the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), sat down with CGTN to discuss China’s landmark “Health for All” pledge.
Khoury applauded the initiative for its ambition and scope, highlighting how it aligns with the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement’s mission to promote equitable healthcare access. She noted that this commitment represents a significant step toward strengthening health systems and fostering resilience, especially in underserved regions.
More than 1,000 attendees from over 50 countries and regions joined the two-day session on “New Future of Health Industry Driven by Innovation.” The lineup included health experts, leaders of international companies, veteran practitioners, government officials, and media representatives, all exploring how digital health, biotech, and sustainable models can transform the industry.
The IFRC’s endorsement brings fresh momentum to global health dialogues, underscoring the power of innovation and collaboration in addressing complex challenges. For a generation of young entrepreneurs, changemakers, and digital nomads, this moment highlights how cross-sector partnerships and visionary pledges can drive real-world impact in healthcare.
