An annual forum that offers a rare opportunity to meet in 2025

每年的11月，阳光正好，微风不燥。一年一度的“SEOS”将会在中国的一个城市盛大启幕。这已经成为中国医院在全球的一个标签了。今年我们聚在一起又将讨论什么话题？今年我们又将思考什么困难？AO Spine每年都会一如继往地在他们的官网上为我们的"中欧医院管理学科建设人才培养全球论坛”做全球官宣。2018年我们首次在广州开启，2019年我们又一次在广州继续。疫情三年我们等待，我们静静地等待疫情慢慢地退却。2023年我们在厦门重新绽放。2024年我们来到了我父亲的家乡重庆。2025年我们特別来到了中国文学大师鲁迅先生的故乡绍兴。希望是本无所谓有，无所谓无的。这正如地上的路；其实地上本没有路，走的人多了，也便成了路。中国医疗就是一条艰难困苦的漫漫长路。我们国家一直都在解决人民看病难，看病贵的困局。这需要中国所有各三甲医院的院长、各学科带头人、各行政部门的负责人和优秀的青年医生只专注于三件大事：医院管理、学科建设和人才培养。这三件大事正才是每一家医院的顶层设计。大家只有做好这三件大事，中国所有医院的所有困难才可迎刃而解。一个医生只会看门诊和做手术，这只是一个医生的标配，标配不可能成就优秀的医生。优秀的医生必须有认知有使命有格局还有顶层设计。因为只有人才才能成就一家伟大的医院，医生才是一个国家的良知。2018年世界微创脊柱大师Mayer教授在中国广州成功创立了仁医医疗。他在中国首次提出了医疗必须要全球思考，这是国家使命。2025年11月15日至16日，12位德国国家科学院院士、欧洲关键学术领袖和著名的科学家一同来到了我的祖国：中国绍兴。他们将与中国讲师团成员共同讨论全球医疗共同关心的临床科研管理学科和人才的最新想法。中欧专家们相聚一堂共同为中国医疗做顶层设计并寻找解决方案。这才是我们相聚的意义所在。一期一会，难得一见，必将珍惜。我们每一个人都必须有国家信仰，我们每一个人都必须热爱我们的国家，因为先有了国，才会有我们的家，我们每一个人都必须为我们的国家做事。这世界需要好的故事，需要好的情感表达。做医疗是一条看不见终点的路，我们乐在其中，欢喜忧愁。能够做一件我们终生最爱的事，已经是我们此生莫大的幸运。通过这个平台我们可以与万千人进行对话，我们需要更多的机会向大师学习不断进步。希望我们团队能做出有价值的事情，带给医院和深陷绝境的病人一些小小的改变。

Every November, when the sunlight is just right and the breeze is gentle, the annual "SEOS" kicks off in a specially selected city in China. This has become a symbol of Chinese hospitals' global engagement. What topics will we gather to discuss this year? And what challenges will we reflect on? As always, AO Spine will make a global promotion for our "Sino-Euro Global Forum on Hospital Management, Specialty Construction & Talent Cultivation" on its official website every year. We launched the forum for the first time in Guangzhou in 2018 and continued it in Guangzhou again in 2019. During the three years of the pandemic, we waited quietly for it to gradually subside. In 2023, we restarted the forum in Xiamen. In 2024, we came to Chongqing, my father's hometown. In 2025, we specially brought the forum to Shaoxing, the hometown of Lu Xun, a great master of Chinese literature. Hope cannot be said to exist, nor can it be said not to exist. It is just like roads across the earth. For actually the earth had no roads to begin with, but when many men pass one way, a road is made. Healthcare in China is a long and arduous journey. Our country has always been striving to solve the challenges of limited access to medical and healthcare services and high costs for the people. These require presidents of all Grade Ⅲ Class A hospitals across China, key academic leaders, heads of administrative departments, and outstanding young doctors to focus on three major tasks: hospital management, specialty construction, and talent cultivation. These three major tasks form the top-level design of every hospital. Only by excelling in these three aspects can all difficulties faced by hospitals in China be resolved. For a doctor, being able to conduct outpatient consultations and perform surgeries is just the basic requirement. Merely meeting these basic requirements, however, does not make an excellent doctor. An excellent doctor must possess insight, a sense of mission, broad vision, and an understanding of top-level design. Because only talents can make hospital great, and doctors reflect the conscience of a nation. In 2018, Prof. Mayer, a world-class master of minimally invasive spine surgery, successfully founded Gloryren in Guangzhou, China. For the first time in China, he proposed that healthcare must embrace global thinking—this is a national mission. From November 15th to 16th, 2025, 12 distinguished experts, including fellows of the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina, prominent European academic leaders, and renowned scientists will come to my homeland: Shaoxing, China. They will join the Chinese faculty members to exchange the latest insights on clinical care, research, specialty construction, and talent cultivation that are of common concern to the global medical community. Chinese and European experts will gather together to jointly design top-level strategies and seek solutions for China's healthcare system. This is the true significance of our gathering. Such a gathering, where we meet once in a while and have a rare opportunity to connect, deserves our utmost appreciation. Each of us must have faith in our country and love our country, for only when the country thrives can our families prosper. Every one of us must contribute to our country. The world needs good stories and genuine emotional expressions. Engaging in the medical and healthcare industry is a journey with no visible end, and we find joy in it, experiencing both ups and downs. Being able to dedicate ourselves to what we love most in life is already a tremendous fortune for us. Through this platform, we can engage in dialogue with thousands of people. We need more opportunities to learn from masters and make continuous progress. It is our hope that our team can accomplish meaningful work, bringing about small yet significant changes to hospitals and patients in desperate situations.
