"All countries need to step up efforts to increase investment in health research, to organize strong systems for innovative research and to bring value products from scientific research into production. At the same time, full use should be made of scientific evidence, and we should also work to bridge gaps between decision-making and scientific research." Chen Zhu, Minister of Health, People's Republic of China
