The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Biotechnology Alliance held a forum today (28th) to discuss the development of the Greater Bay Area.
Gao Yongwen, former director of the Food and Health Bureau and member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, hopes that the Hong Kong government and the Mainland will implement the "Hong Kong Medicine and Hong Kong Medicine" policy as soon as possible so that Hong Kong-funded medical institutions in the Mainland can use Hong Kong medicines.
In addition, he mentioned that Hong Kong people's acceptance of electronic technology, such as electronic wallets and electronic road surveillance, is lower than that in the Mainland, and it is necessary to invent "sensitive drugs" to eliminate Hong Kong people's "allergies" to electronic technology.
Yu Changhai, chairman of the Hong Kong Testing and Certification Bureau, said that the state proposed to establish a Hong Kong international innovation and technology center has a clear positioning, and Hong Kong has the advantages of scientific research and international connections.
He also pointed out that the industry is worried that "black violence" may affect the intention of talents to come to Hong Kong, and therefore supports the formulation of the "Hong Kong National Security Law" and the improvement of the election system.

Gao Yongwen said that the Greater Bay Area has increased demand for high-level medical services. In recent years, many Hong Kong-funded medical groups have explored the Greater Bay Area market. However, the Mainland cannot use Hong Kong-registered drugs, and sometimes can only use similar or generic drugs.
He said that the Food and Health Bureau is currently discussing with the mainland authorities to use the Hong Kong University Shenzhen Hospital as a pilot to use Hong Kong registered drugs. He hopes that the authorities can extend the plan to other Hong Kong-funded hospitals and fully implement the "Hong Kong Medicine and Hong Kong Medicine" policy as soon as possible.
Yu Changhai: The Hong Kong International Biotechnology Exhibition will be held to enhance the visibility of the industry in the Greater Bay Area
Yu Changhai said that the 14th Five-Year Plan mentions the establishment of an international innovation and technology center in Hong Kong. He believes that the country has a clear arrangement for Hong Kong and can use the advantages of Hong Kong as an international city to bring biotechnology to the world.
He mentioned that Hong Kong has scientific research advantages. There are a total of 7 universities conducting scientific research, 5 of which are ranked in the world's 100, and are capable of developing a biotechnology industry chain covering the upper, middle and lower reaches.
He said that the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is larger than any other bay area in the world, but the Greater Bay Area is still not well-known in the biotechnology industry. In the future, the Hong Kong International Biotechnology Exhibition will be organized to promote the development of the industry.
When asked how Hong Kong is going through social turmoil, how should it get back on track to attract and retain talents, Yu Changhai pointed out that talents are the most important part of innovation and technology. In the past, Hong Kong society was unstable due to the "black storms", and the biotech community was also worried It will affect the desire of talents to come to Hong Kong. Therefore, the industry strongly supports the implementation of the "Hong Kong National Security Law" and recent measures to improve the election system.

Gao Yongwen hopes that the Hospital Authority solves the problem of privacy technology to make good use of the database
As for how to promote the flow of resources in the Greater Bay Area, including the transfer of data and samples, Gao Yongwen said that Hong Kong’s medical data is centralized, but due to personal privacy issues, the HA is very conservative in sharing data and believes that if information technology experts can find a way, To relieve the HA from worrying about privacy issues, its huge database can be used.
Hong Weimin, deputy to the National People's Congress and Chief Liaison Officer for Hong Kong Affairs of the Qianhai Administration, suggested the establishment of a "data zone" to allow researchers to access data for research. "Research results can be taken away, but the original data must be kept." He mentioned, As long as the individual cannot be identified from the data, the data is not personal privacy.
Gao Yongwen mentioned that Hong Kong people’s acceptance of information technology, electronic wallets, etc. is not as good as that of the Mainland. “Even when you travel with peace of mind, you will be shocked and exposed to your whereabouts.” He also joked that “allergy medicine” will be invented to eliminate Hong Kong people’s use of electronic technology. "Allergies".
