(Reporter Zhao Xingyue, Chief Reporter Liu Zhiyong) On November 7, at the Third China International Import Expo, Pfizer announced a strategic partnership with Health News Agency regarding its vaccine business. Leveraging their respective strengths, the two parties will collaborate in areas such as advancing public health and disease prevention and control, improving access to vaccines for age-related diseases, and strengthening primary-level public health services. Key initiatives include promoting public health and disease prevention cooperation in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the Yangtze River Delta region, as well as launching the nationwide “Life Heroes, Immunity Heroes” awareness campaign.

Deng Haihua, President of Health News Press, stated that vaccination is a crucial component of the public health service system and represents the most cost-effective health promotion intervention. The sudden onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly heightened global awareness of the importance of public health and disease prevention. To fully leverage their respective strengths in the field of public health, both parties have reached a consensus on cooperation in advancing disease prevention and health education in China, thereby establishing a forward-looking, long-term, and stable strategic partnership.

Yi Qin Wang, Vice President of Marketing at Pfizer Biopharmaceuticals Group, stated that Health News is the most authoritative and influential national industry media in China’s health sector. It has consistently organized and established numerous high-quality industry exchange platforms and produced many impactful industry reports. Pfizer hopes to leverage this collaboration with Health News to build a communication and exchange platform with key national strategic regions, expand the breadth and depth of cooperation, actively promote advanced concepts of disease prevention, help enhance China’s public health disease prevention capabilities and public health literacy, and jointly promote the synergy between medical care and prevention.
