Macao's Chief Executive Chui Sai On met Thursday with World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Margaret Chan on prevention and control of epidemic diseases, the development of traditional Chinese medicine, scientific research and personal training.
Chui said that Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR) government and the WHO have cooperated with each other and their relationship are well-established.
He appreciated the support from WHO to Macao on public health, the prevention and vaccination of epidemic diseases, training of medical personnel, and other areas.
Chui thanked Chan for her supports and cares about the development of Macao's medical and health services, adding that the WHO and Macao have cooperated closely on traditional Chinese medicine.
Both sides also exchanged their views on the impact of economic environment and international situation on health and medical input in different regions, effective prevention and control of epidemic diseases, as well as the development potential of traditional Chinese medicine.
Macao's economy remains stable after more than 20 months' readjustment, during which the SAR government has kept its spending on people's livelihood, Chui said.
He stressed that the government will continue to work on safeguarding people's safety and preventing and controlling of epidemic diseases under the guidance of the WHO. Endit
