Secretary-General of the World Health Organization Will Tang, Chinese National Health Commission Wei Shuqing, Deputy Director of the Pasik Institute Nanskatoon, and Harvard Medical School Professor Tracey and co-project leader Bai Ye held a public meeting with reporters after the closing report.
reception.
At the reception, Will Tang made a public statement: "The complete end of cobalt-chromium alloys is coming. We have been waiting for this moment for a long time, and today, I am very excited because this Chinese Professor Bai Ye, led by his
After more than a year of hard work, the team overcame one difficulty after another and finally found the final method to remove cobalt-chromium alloy."
"Perhaps you are a little curious about the name Bai Ye, so allow me to give him a brief introduction. Bai Ye, professor at Tsinghua University Union Medical College, Yangtze River Scholar, and professor at the University of California School of Medicine, proposed the 'cobalt-chromium alloy' a year ago
'Sequelae, he took action and began to study how to solve this problem. A year later, he successfully solved the problem. He is a hero. This name will always be remembered in the history of human implanted devices."
Will Tang spoke highly of Bai Ye, but no one from the media from all over the world refuted it, or even offered a rebuttal.
Because Bai Ye actually did this!
In this incident, Bai Ye is an out-and-out hero.
And he is a hero who gives silently.
A reporter from Time Magazine in the United States stood up and asked: "Hello, Mr. Bai Ye, I am Qin Yuehai, a reporter from Time Magazine. Yes, I am a Chinese. I am very excited and excited at this moment. I want to ask you,
What drove you to study cobalt-chromium alloys?”
Bai Ye smiled: "As everyone said some time ago, I dug the hole in the hole. If I don't fix it, I will be a sinner."
After the media below heard the news, some people couldn't help but fell silent.
It has not been long since the last time he slandered Bai Ye. A few months ago, a professor at Johns Hopkins University publicly criticized Bai Ye, saying that Bai Ye was an irresponsible researcher and that his research had brought disaster to society.
Qin Yuehai was very satisfied with Bai Ye's answer. He actually wanted Bai Ye to talk about it. As a compatriot, when everyone was slandering Bai Ye, Qin Yuehai also wanted to stand up, but he didn't have the confidence. But at this moment, he was very confident.
, when you feel proud, you must pull out the group of people who slandered you!
At this time, a blond woman with blue eyes stood up: "Hello, I am a reporter from The Times, Mr. Will, Mr. Bai Ye has made such great achievements, and the World Health Organization has put hundreds of millions of
US dollars have been invested in the research of the Pasik Institute and Harvard Medical School, and Bai Ye has never received any funding from the beginning to the end. I would like to ask how the World Health Organization will handle this matter.
"
Will Tang frowned. The last thing he wanted to hear now was these things. These were all things caused by the chairman, so he should take the blame.
The reason why the chairman of the World Health Organization did not come to participate this time and entrusted the Secretary-General Will Towne to come is to avoid this question. It is an embarrassing topic, and the questioner is the world's three major media questioning "The Times", is that
A group of British guys who dare to do whatever they say!
Will Tang took a deep breath, sighed with regret, and was about to explain, when Nanskatoon, the deputy director of the Pasik Institute, stood up and said: "I am the person in charge of the cobalt-chromium alloy removal plan of the Pasik Institute.
Man, Nanskatoon, first of all, I apologize to everyone here. I have failed everyone's expectations. So far, there is still no good way to find a good way to end the cobalt-chromium alloy. But scientific research has always been unpredictable. We Passy
All the staff of the Institute of Science and Technology are working hard on this. As a result, we have no way to be sure. Regarding the investment of the special funds, I just want to tell you that we have special records for every penny spent, and we collect
Of the US$500 million in scientific research funds received, a total of US$170 million has been used so far, and the remaining money will be handed over to the World Health Organization."
Nance Cartoon's words made everyone stunned for a moment, and then they thought of applause.
This is a scientist who dares to take responsibility and admit it.
Will Tang couldn't sit still at this time and stood up and said: "Every funding direction of the World Health Organization has dedicated staff to review and approve it, and the Chinese health department will have a contribution to this contribution by the World Health Organization.
A special fund of 2 billion US dollars is used to solve the problem of the sequelae of cobalt-chromium alloy, and I am the main person in charge of this. I will apply to the organization and entrust this money to Bai Ye to solve the problem of cobalt this time.
Dedicated funding for chrome sequelae.”
When everyone below heard this, they were immediately dumbfounded!
2 billion US dollars!
All used to solve the cobalt-chromium alloy removal plan!
Two billion US dollars is a crazy number no matter which country or region it is in.
"Hello, dear Mr. Bai Ye, I am a reporter from the United Press. I would like to ask, what is the name of the drug that can remove excess cobalt this time, how soon will it be available on the market, and what is the price?"
The raising of this question attracted everyone's attention. This is a qualified question and the most critical question this time.
Bai Ye had already prepared an answer to this question. Wei Shuqing approached Bai Ye personally. No matter how much the fee was, Bai Ye would not need to spend a penny. The state would have special funds.
In fact, the price of polycobalt protein compounds is not high. After calculation, the price that a person may need from beginning to end may be about 300 yuan. Even if 20 million people in the world have used cobalt-chromium alloy, 10% of the patients will suffer from sequelae.
number of people, then the cost is actually 600 million yuan, plus other miscellaneous expenses, it will not exceed 1 billion.
Of course, this is Bai Ye's estimated price, which is the most ideal number. Among the 20 million patients who use cobalt-chromium alloy, the number of people taking the drug will definitely increase significantly, because no matter who you are, there will be a psychological shadow, so if you calculate it
, this amount of money is difficult to calculate.
As for the so-called 2 billion US dollars, this money will definitely not be handed over to Bai Ye.
It is reimbursement in nature.
But even though they can't get it, those at the Baiye Institute will have an additional funding channel when applying for projects in the future, and this channel is the US$2 billion World Health Organization channel.
As long as the topics are related to polycobalt protein compounds, you can apply for funding here.
Therefore, Bai Ye said: "This drug is called 'Qingcoling'. The taking period is one month, and the drug will be launched in one month's time."
"This Qingcoling drug is given away free of charge. All patients can go to the corresponding place in their country to receive the drug with the valid certificate in hand."
As soon as Bai Ye finished speaking, everyone was confused. Free medicine?
The money for the World Health Organization hasn’t been received yet, right?
Just take free medicine?
Moreover, with so many patients around the world, is US$2 billion enough?
Are drugs expensive?
Thinking of this, the media present were all shocked.
