第79屆世界衞生大會於昨日在瑞士日內瓦揭幕。同日，本會聯同中國疾控中心，在日內瓦洲際酒店舉辦「大道至簡：無蚊則無登革熱」周邊會議，向全球推廣以物理手段防控蟲媒疾病的「中國方案」。這是首個本港民間慈善機構在世衞大會主辦邊會。

主席梁振英致辭指出，本會相關物理防控經驗已兩度獲國際權威醫學期刊《刺針》刊登，值得全球借鑑。中國國家衞健委副主任、國家疾控局局長沈洪兵、東帝汶總統奧爾塔分別發表主旨演講與嘉許辭；香港醫務衞生局局長盧寵茂、中國疾控中心主任王健偉等亦出席支持。

會上，老撾、柬埔寨、東帝汶及瓦努阿圖衞生部高層代表，聯同世衞及聯合國機構專家，一致肯定這套「中國方案」在資源匱乏地區的成效。本會多位青年大使亦全程參與，近距離觀摩全球衞生治理。

The 79th World Health Assembly (WHA) opened yesterday in Geneva, Switzerland. On the same day, GX in collaboration with the Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, held a side event titled "Keep It Simple – No Mosquito, No Dengue" at the InterContinental Geneva, promoting to the world the "China Solution" of using physical means to prevent and control vector-borne diseases. This event marks a historic first, with a Hong Kong-based charitable organisation hosting a side event at the WHA.

Chairman LEUNG Chun-ying noted in his address that GX's experience in physical vector control has been published twice by The Lancet, an internationally authoritative medical journal, and is worthy of global reference. Prof. SHEN Hong-bing, Vice Minister of the National Health Commission of China and Administrator of the National Bureau of Disease Control, and H.E. José RAMOS-HORTA, President of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste, delivered a keynote speech and a video commendation message respectively. Prof. LO Chung-mau, Secretary for Health of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and Prof. WANG Jian-wei, Director of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, were also among the attendees.

During the session, senior representatives from the Ministries of Health of Laos, Cambodia, Timor Leste and Vanuatu, together with experts from the WHO and UN agencies, unanimously affirmed the effectiveness of this "China Solution" in resource-limited settings. Several GX Youth Ambassadors were fully engaged throughout the event, gaining first-hand insight into the workings of global health governance.

《HK01》專欄文章：帶．路共享｜翻越泥濘與深谷——我們在東帝汶山村點亮的那盞燈

本會的新文章在《HK01》專欄「帶・路共享」上發佈了！

由共享基金會項目專員鄭婷予撰寫，記錄了她首次出差東帝汶，深入西部山區博博納羅項目點的經歷。百公里山路崎嶇，團隊克服斷橋、泥濘與大霧，終於抵達當地村衞生所。在那裡，負責人介紹了滅蚊燈等「防蚊五寶」如何守護偏鄉居民的健康，讓原本只在報告上的數字，化為山村最真切的防線；這也讓其切身感受到將善意跨越山海、踐行「民心相通」的深刻意義。

敬請繼續留意我們下期的專欄！

HK01 Column Article: Belt & Road Sharing｜ Scaling Muddy Trails and Deep Gorges — The Lamp We Lit in a Mountain Village of Timor-Leste

GX’s latest article in the HK01 column "Belt & Road Sharing" is now published!

Written by Ms. ZHENG Tingyu, Project Officer of GX Foundation, it documents her first field trip to Timor-Leste, where she ventured deep into the Bobonaro project site in the western mountainous region. Navigating a rugged 100-kilometer mountain path, the team overcame broken bridges, thick mud, and heavy fog to finally reach the local village health center. There, learning how the "Five Mosquito Prevention Essentials," such as Mosquito lamps, safeguard the health of remote villagers turned what were once mere numbers on a report into the most tangible shield for the mountain community. It also allowed her to truly experience the profound meaning of spreading goodwill across mountains and seas, and putting "people-to-people connectivity" into practice.

Stay tuned for our next column!

Global Headquarters Open Day Concludes Successfully: First-Ever Unveiling of Red Brick Wall and Fireplace Relic

GX’s second Open Day on 26 April was a resounding success! No. 4 Hospital Road, a Grade II historic building with over a century of history, once served as a sanitation workers' dormitory safeguarding Hong Kong's public health. Today, it has been transformed into the Global Headquarters of GX, carrying forward the mission of international medical and health cooperation.

The event was hosted by Chairman LEUNG Chun-ying, who shared the building’s historical significance and GX’s vision for global humanitarian assistance. Guided tours led by architectural heritage conservation consultant Mr. Caspar YAM received an enthusiastic response. Participants enjoyed a rare, close-up look at the newly unveiled original red brick wall and the fireplace relic from the former Superintendent's Quarters, gaining in-depth insight into the structural features of Hong Kong’s early sanitary architecture.

Also on display were our "Five Mosquito Prevention Essentials" and Disaster Preparedness Kits used in Belt and Road countries. GX Youth Ambassadors were on hand to explain the technical principles and frontline effectiveness of these life-saving tools.

本會於昨日在全球總部舉辦「共享大講堂」第一講，由哈薩克斯坦納扎爾巴耶夫大學校長Waqar AHMAD教授主講，以「『一帶一路』國家的健康合作」為題，與近百位嘉賓深入交流。出席者包括外交部駐港特派員公署署理特派員李永勝、共享基金會理事兼行政會議成員李國章教授、總幹事陳英凝教授，以及多位資助大學校董會主席、大學校長及教授。

2013年，國家主席習近平在該校首次提出「絲綢之路經濟帶」。時隔十餘年，校長親臨揭幕，意義深遠。AHMAD教授指出：「納扎爾巴耶夫大學的願景與共享基金會高度契合，雙方可攜手提供全球化醫療解決方案。」

本會與該校已於2025年11月簽署合作備忘錄。共享大講堂的開設，標誌着基金會從實地醫療援助拓展至知識對話與思想引領的新階段，未來將邀請更多全球政、商、學、研領域翹楚演講。

Yesterday, GX held the inaugural session of the GX Lecture Series at GX Global Headquarters. The session was delivered by Professor Waqar AHMAD, President of Nazarbayev University in Kazakhstan, on the theme “Health Collaboration in Belt and Road Countries – Progress, Challenges, and Opportunities for Equity and Regional Cooperation”, featuring in-depth exchanges with nearly 100 distinguished guests. Attendees included Mr. LI Yong-sheng, Acting Commissioner of the Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region; Professor LI Kwok-cheung, Arthur, Board Member of GX Foundation and Member of the Executive Council; Professor CHAN Ying-yang, Emily, Chief Executive Officer of GX Foundation; as well as Chairs of University Councils, Presidents and Professors from a number of partner universities.

In 2013, President XI Jin-ping first proposed the Silk Road Economic Belt at Nazarbayev University. More than a decade later, the visit of President Ahmad to launch this Lecture carries profound symbolic significance. Professor AHMAD noted: “Nazarbayev University’s visions are deeply aligned with GX Foundation’s core interest areas, enabling joint efforts to provide globalised medical solutions.”

GX signed a MoU with Nazarbayev University in November 2025. The launch of the GX Lecture Series marks a new phase for GX, expanding from on-the-ground medical assistance to intellectual dialogue and thought leadership. Going forward, GX will invite more distinguished figures from global political, business, academic and research circles to deliver lectures.

本會全球第29,000例免費白內障手術在毛里塔尼亞基法完成！

其中，Fatimetou 是當地第10期項目的首位手術患者。64 歲的她失明一年半，生活猶如被困在昏暗的房間裡，後經親人介紹受助。術後她激動地說：「我能清楚看見所有家人的臉！」

另一位患者 Meilimnine 是聾啞人士，通過家人協助翻譯溝通前來手術。她失明兩年，無法參加任何社交活動，偶然在醫院遇見一位曾接受本會手術的看護，因而找到我們。術後她重獲光明，並表示：「感謝基金會以及中國醫療隊，在這裡我得到了最好的治療。」

目前，本會在毛里塔尼亞已幫助完成逾3,000例免費白內障手術。

GX Completes 29,000th Free Cataract Surgery Globally in Kiffa, Mauritania!

This milestone was reached during the 10th cohort of our project in Mauritania. Fatimetou, 64, was the first patient to be treated in this new cohort. Having been blind for 18 months, she described her life as being "trapped in a dark room" until she was referred to us by a relative. Post-surgery, she said with excitement: "I can clearly see the faces of all my family members again!"

Another patient, Meilimnine, who is deaf and mute, came for surgery with the help of her family members who assisted in translation. She had been blind for two years and was unable to participate in any social activities. By chance, she met a caregiver at the hospital who had previously undergone surgery with GX and thus found us. After the surgery, her vision was restored, and she expressed, "Thank you to GX and the Chinese medical team. Here, I have received the best treatment."

To date, GX has helped complete over 3,000 free cataract surgeries in Mauritania.

獲外交學院邀請，共享基金會今天在北京釣魚台大酒店出席「第二次中柬泰二軌對話會」── 落實《撫仙會晤共識》，營造和平輿論環境。

共享基金會東南亞項目總監、來自香港的潘茵蒽醫生於全體會議上發言，並參與人道救援相關的圓桌會議，深入了解邊境人民在衝突下面對的醫療和公共衛生挑戰，並提出共享基金會的專業意見。

自泰柬衝突爆發以來，中方一直積極調停。2025年12月28日至29日，在中國雲南玉溪撫仙湖，由中共中央政治局委員、外交部長王毅主持，中柬泰三國外長及軍方負責人舉行「撫仙會晤」，達成重要共識，為停火與和平對話奠下基礎。其後，中方陸續舉辦包括本次在內的兩次中柬泰二軌對話會。今次會議上，外交學院邀請中柬泰三國智庫、媒體及民間人道救援組織代表齊聚北京，促進溝通、加強互信、凝聚共識，攜手推動兩國和平發展。與會代表讚賞中方在調停衝突方面的努力，會議氣氛融洽，各方積極發言，提出多種方案，為和平之路出謀獻策。

共享基金會自2022年12月起在柬埔寨展開工作，成功在波羅勉省及磅士卑省消除積壓的白內障個案，完成超過6,600宗手術。同時，基金會在磅士卑省、金港公路、德崇國際機場及扶南德佐綜合水利項目進行登革熱防控工作，為當地居民築起健康防護網。未來，基金會將密切關注事態發展，並在適當時機提供力所能及的支援。

獲邀出席今天的會議並發言，並獲得泰柬代表重視，是共享基金會的榮耀。

Invited by the China Foreign Affairs University (CFAU), GX today attended the “Second China–Cambodia–Thailand Track II Dialogue” at the Diaoyutai Hotel in Beijing, aiming to implement the Fuxian Meeting Consensus and foster a favourable public opinion environment for peace.

Dr. P**N Yen-yen, Grace, a Hong Kong-based physician, as well as GX’s Director (Southeast Asia) delivered remarks at the plenary session. She also participated in a roundtable discussion on humanitarian relief, gaining in-depth understanding of the medical and public health challenges faced by border communities amid conflict while sharing GX’s professional insights.

China has been actively engaged in mediation since the outbreak of the Thailand–Cambodia conflict. On 28–29 December 2025, a meeting was convened and hosted by WANG Yi, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, together with the foreign ministers and military officials of China, Cambodia, and Thailand, at Fuxian Lake in Yuxi, Yunnan (known as the “Fuxian Meeting”), laying the groundwork for a ceasefire and peace dialogue. Following this, China subsequently held two Track II dialogues between the three countries including the current one. At this meeting, the CFAU invited representatives from think tanks, the media, and non-governmental humanitarian organisations from both countries to gather in Beijing. The dialogue aimed to promote communication, strengthen mutual trust, and build consensus, together advancing peaceful development. The atmosphere was cordial, all parties actively spoke up and commended China’s mediation efforts, proposing a range of ideas to help chart a path toward peace.

Since December 2022, GX has been developing projects in Cambodia. It has successfully addressed backlogged cataract cases in Prey Veng Province and Kampong Speu Province, completing more than 6,600 surgeries. At the same time, GX has carried out dengue fever prevention and control initiatives in Kampong Speu Province, along the Phnom Penh–Sihanoukville Expressway, around Techo International Airport, and through the Funan–Techo integrated water resources management project, with the aim of building a health protection network for local residents. Going forward, GX will closely monitor developments and provide support within its capacity.

It is a great honour for GX to have been invited to attend and speak at today’s meeting, and to receive particular attention and recognition from representatives of Thailand and Cambodia.
