Chapter 319 WHO Visit and Request

Wang Mengde firmly believes it.

For what he did to Mitsui Shigeru.

In this world, no one except himself can see anything unusual.

Moreover, if he had not known about this in advance, even he himself, when he saw Mitsui Shigeru's dead body, would have thought it was an unexpected situation caused by all the bad things he had done over the years.

As for other top doctors at home and abroad, even using the most advanced instruments and equipment in the world, they could not find any evidence at all.

What's more, this would only happen three months after Mitsui Shigeru returned to China. After such a long time, no one would think of him.

Just ten days after Mitsui Shigeru was discharged from the hospital, his superiors suddenly came to Guang'anmen Hospital and invited him over as well.

"Comrade Wang Mengde, the reason we asked you to come here this time is because the relevant personnel from the World Health Organization have come to China and they are going to inspect China's medical and health work.

At the same time, I also specifically asked to meet you and talk to you. "

The superior leader said with a smile.

Although China is not yet a member of the League of Nations for various reasons, many world organizations will eventually be unable to bypass China.

After all, even though China is not rich now, its land area and population base are there. Especially after several foreign wars since the founding of the country, its influence cannot be underestimated.

This time, the World Health Organization has organized a separate team to come to China for investigation.

"Leader, I will obey the arrangements of my superiors."

Wang Mengde said solemnly.

At the same time, he also expressed his doubts: "Leader, why would the WHO suddenly visit our country?"

This was actually the part that puzzled him the most.

Although the WHO often publishes or praises China's achievements in medical and health care in recent years, it basically will not come to China easily due to the power of certain countries.

"Haha, this is all thanks to you.

This time, the WHO originally went to Japan for an inspection. When the inspection was nearing its end, it suddenly communicated with our staff.

After investigation by staff from relevant departments of our country, we found out the specific reason. It was because you cured Mitsui Shigeru, which attracted their strong attention.

Of course, the tremendous achievements China has made in the field of medical and health care in recent years, coupled with the loosening of the United States, are also the most fundamental prerequisites.

My superiors have determined that the WHO people came here this time and specifically asked to see you, so they must have some ulterior motives, so you must be extra careful when you meet them."

The leader explained and gave a few instructions.

China has indeed made remarkable achievements in the field of medical and health care in recent years.

Just a few years after the liberation, in order to prevent and control the infectious disease smallpox, a nationwide vaccination was carried out. In a very short period of time, almost all the people in the country were vaccinated.

Then around 62, it was announced to the world that the epidemic infectious disease, smallpox, had been eradicated in China.

This achievement shocked the World Health Organization, which praised the result highly.

This is far ahead of most countries in the world and more than ten years ahead of the World Health Organization's expectations.

There is also venereal disease. Before liberation, according to incomplete statistics, there were probably millions of people in the country who were infected with syphilis and other sexually transmitted diseases.

It was also around 64 that China announced that syphilis had been basically eradicated.

In addition, effective prevention and control work has been carried out for infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, plague, and cholera, which has basically controlled the development and spread of the epidemic.

"Leaders, WHO people, have you suggested where to visit?"

Wang Mengde thought about it and then asked again.

If the other party comes with a purpose, he must have a goal.

And they may find some clues from the places they want to visit.

"That's true. They hope to go to the southern region first to investigate whether China's prevention and control of schistosomiasis is as thorough as advertised.

Haha, no wonder they were suspicious. Who could have imagined that ten years ago, there were still hundreds of millions of people in more than a dozen provinces, cities and regions in the south who were under the threat of schistosomiasis.

Tens of millions of people have been infected, many have lost their ability to work, and even their lives are at risk of being lost at any time.

In our country, it took only a few years and expended a lot of manpower and resources to eliminate the intermediate host snail, and at the same time basically cured all the infected people.

Nowadays in the south, you basically don't see people suffering from schistosomiasis. Even if there are, they will recover quickly after taking a few doses of the medicine you developed.

Moreover, we have provided medical assistance to many countries in Southeast Asia and Africa. Over the past seven or eight years, we have sent dozens of medical teams.

Each medical team saved a large number of lives abroad. When they returned home, the local people tried to keep them, and it can be said that the streets were deserted.

This also provides a particularly good environment for the country's diplomatic work. Several departments have specially thanked the health and family planning department."

As the leader spoke, a smile from the heart appeared on his face.

These are the achievements he made during his tenure.

Whether he continues to work in the health system or goes to other departments in the future, these will be his best resume.

Next to him, Dean Lu was also very happy, because Wang Mengde was his subordinate.

Part of these achievements can also be attributed to the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Every time he went to a meeting, he would be met with envious and jealous looks from others.

Wang Mengde also nodded.

Whenever WHO personnel come to China, schistosomiasis is a major topic that cannot be avoided.

After all, this is an infectious disease that has plagued mankind for thousands of years, and hundreds of millions of people around the world are threatened by this disease.

Now China has taken the lead in eliminating the disease and is also supporting other underdeveloped countries, which is very much in line with the original intention of establishing the WHO.

Then, the leader continued, “At the second stop, they want to see how doctors treat malaria in a hospital in the south.

In addition, they also hope to visit a pharmaceutical factory to see the production process and whether it is worth learning from other countries.

As for those who go to the hospital to see how to treat malaria, we have done some research and feel that there is no problem.

But it would be inappropriate to refer to pharmaceutical factories, after all, the production process of pharmaceutical factories is confidential. "

After hearing his words, Wang Mengde immediately understood the thoughts of some people in the WHO.

The two drugs he developed, Qinghaosan and artemisinin, are currently the only two effective drugs in the world for treating new malaria infectious diseases.

After several years of hard work, major research institutions around the world have made little progress.

As the United States' military operations in South Vietnam were not going smoothly, Qinghaosan and Artemisinin became more and more famous.

Researchers from other countries could also tell from the name that Wang Mengde used Artemisia annua as raw material, but they tried it countless times and the results were not satisfactory.

So, I thought about getting into the WHO and going to the pharmaceutical factory to find out the truth in person.

It would be great if we could get the secrets of these two drugs. Even if we don't get it in the end, we can still pick out some issues and criticize them in the newspapers.

"Leader, there are huge secrets in the production process of the pharmaceutical factory. They cannot be allowed to visit."

Wang Mengde said hurriedly.

The secret of Qinghaosan and artemisinin is actually not complicated and can be easily understood.

Foreign scientists have not found the right method. Once they see the complete production steps, or even a key step, they can quickly find the reason.

That's why he strongly opposed it.

"Well, Comrade Wang Mengde, I will report your opinion to the higher-ups. Don't worry, we will definitely not do anything that has the risk of leaking secrets."

The leader comforted:
“By the way, the WHO also said that they are planning to randomly inspect several villages from south to north to see how the medical cooperation system is being implemented.

Then after arriving in Beijing, I will find a time to communicate with you.

Someone will notify you of the specific time and will accompany you to meet them."

After talking with his superiors, Wang Mengde had an idea in mind.

He needs to be prepared in advance about what to say and what not to say.

China attaches great importance to the visit of the WHO this time, as it is a good opportunity for external publicity.

weekend.

Taking advantage of the fact that the World Health Organization had not yet arrived, Wang Mengde took a break and came to Nanluoguxiang alone.

Sha Zhu made several appointments with him to have drinks together, but they never got together for various reasons.

in the living room.

Two people sat at an octagonal table, on which were placed four dishes and two bottles of Erguotou.

As for Yu Li and her two children, they went to Yi Zhonghai's house nearby and had dinner with them.

Now the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai and his wife all focus their attention on Sha Zhu's family. The three families are as close as one family.

"This wild vegetable is really delicious. It seems your cooking skills have improved."

Wang Mengde picked up a piece of cold shepherd's purse with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and couldn't help but praise it.

“Hahaha, Meng De, you noticed it too.

I've had some realizations recently. I think I have integrated the cooking skills passed down from my ancestors with what several masters taught me.

In the past, I always felt that something was missing when I cooked. The color, aroma and taste were not perfect. After careful consideration, I finally figured out the problem some time ago. "

Sha Zhu laughed out loud.

Even though his nickname contains the word "silly", he is actually gifted in cooking.

Even very ordinary dishes can become very delicious after being processed by him.

Even though he is less than 30 years old, his skills are almost as good as those of chefs in their 40s or 50s in big hotels.

The two of them drank, ate and chatted.

Soon, a bottle of wine was finished.

At this time, Sha Zhu began to talk more:
"Meng De, I want to ask you a question. Do you have any 'Palace Emperor Pills'?"

"Why are you asking this? Also, where did you hear about this medicine?"

Wang Mengde did not answer his question, but asked back curiously.

'Palace Emperor Pills' has been on the market for several years, but most people in China have never heard of it, and only very few people understand its efficacy.

As for those who have taken it, the number is even smaller.

After all, this is a drug that can be exported to earn foreign exchange, and it has always been in short supply.

It is only in recent times that production has increased and a small amount of supply has become available domestically.

But it shouldn't be something that someone like Sha Zhu could know.

"Hey, I work in the kitchen of the steel mill. There is a girl in our kitchen named Liu Lan, and she is the lover of Deputy Director Li.

A few days ago, Liu Lan was chatting with another older sister in the kitchen. They didn't notice that I was there, so the two of them just chatted freely.

I heard her telling that older sister that Deputy Director Li has been very powerful recently, all thanks to the medicine 'Palace Emperor Pills'. After taking it, he was like a young man in his twenties.

No wonder Deputy Director Li has stopped eating donkey trifles in the past two months."

Sha Zhu explained with a smile.

At the same time, his eyes were full of envy.

Even though he has a strong body, what man doesn't want to be stronger?

"Haha, so that's what happened."

Wang Mengde also had a smile on his face. He waved his hand and said, "I developed the medicine 'Palace Emperor Pills'.

If you want, I'll give you a few bottles, but don't tell anyone else about this, or they'll ask me for more, but I don't have that much."

As he said this, he pretended to take out five bottles from his pocket, but actually took them out from the space.

There are still hundreds of bottles stored in his space.

These are all defective products that have been screened out. They just don’t look good, but there is no difference in their medicinal efficacy.

In the past few years, most of the medicines taken out from the pharmaceutical factories were given to people I know well, otherwise there would be more accumulation.

"That's great, Meng De, thank you. I'll find some good ingredients and we can have a good drink together."

Sha Zhu took the medicine bottle and said happily.

He planned to try the effectiveness of the medicine with Yu Li tonight.

For the next two days, Wang Mengde went to work as usual. A group of seven or eight WHO staff members were still conducting an inspection in the south.

According to the pre-arranged itinerary, we will not arrive in Beijing until tomorrow afternoon.

Thursday.

When he arrived at Guang'anmen Hospital in the morning, he was notified that relevant personnel from the World Health Organization would meet with him.

In a conference room.

Wang Mengde and the staff sent by his superiors sat on one side, and on the other side sat a few white foreigners.

"Dear Mr. Wang Mengde, my name is Thomas, and I am the leader of the delegation visiting China this time. This beautiful lady is named Laura..."

Sitting in the middle seat, Thomas looked at Wang Mengde with shining eyes, and then introduced his companions around him one by one.

When he first came in, he recognized Wang Mengde at a glance.

After a few simple greetings.

Thomas continued:

“Mr. Wang Mengde, this trip to China has left me with deep feelings and shock.

I didn’t expect that in China, a country with a backward economy, the medical and health care industry has developed so well.

Along the way, I passed through more than a dozen villages, towns and cities, and found that basically every village had a simple small clinic, and every town had a hospital with relatively complete functions.

This is an achievement that many countries with better economic conditions have not achieved.”

"Another thing is that every doctor has the same medical encyclopedia in his hands.

OMG, I was on the road and took a look at this book with the help of a translator. It is simply amazing.

Later I found out that you were actually responsible for compiling this book.

I would like to ask you to allow me to take a copy back with me, translate it into other languages, and distribute it around the world to help other countries.”
