the 2007 World Congress of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences and

development of new medicines should be strengthened and the
advantages of traditional medicine should be inherited.
Wu urged the developed countries to help developing countries
get proper medicines for their citizens.
Medical services across the world should be improved and
