Xi also required efforts to reinforce the national surveillance network for major epidemics, improve the legal and regulatory system, promote the research of cutting-edge technologies and cultivate top-notch professionals to raise the country's ability to respond to major public health emergencies.
习近平强调，要健全国家重大疫情监控网络，完善法律法规体系，加大前沿技术攻关和尖端人才培养力度，尽快提高我国应对重大突发公共卫生事件能力和水平。

随后，习近平在清华大学医学院主持召开座谈会，听取科技部关于全国药品和疫苗研发工作，国家卫生健康委关于有效临床应用经验和有效诊疗方案总结推广工作的情况汇报。听取汇报后，习近平发表了重要讲话。

He noted the progress made by the country's scientific and technological front in just over a month, saying it has provided forceful support to epidemic prevention and control.
他指出，疫情发生以来，全国科技战线在短短一个多月时间内就取得了积极进展，为疫情防控提供了有力科技支撑。

At the moment, winning the people's war against the epidemic still requires hard work, Xi said, stressing more efforts to seek solutions through science.
当前，打赢疫情防控人民战争需要付出艰苦努力。越是面对这种情况，越要坚持向科学要答案、要方法。

"Saving the lives of more patients is the most pressing and important task," he continued.
习近平强调，尽最大努力挽救更多患者生命是当务之急、重中之重。

Xi stressed linking the research on medicines and medical equipment with clinical treatment as well as giving priority to the clinical application of scientific research achievements.
要加强药物、医疗装备研发和临床救治相结合。要让科研成果更多向临床一线倾斜。

Treatment should combine traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, more effective drugs be applied and new treatment methods explored to prevent patients with mild symptoms from becoming severely ill, he said.
坚持中西药并用，加快推广应用已经研发和筛选的有效药物，探索新的治疗手段，尽最大可能阻止轻症患者向重症转化。

Advanced treatments using convalescent plasma, stem cells and monoclonal antibodies should also be applied to treat severe and critically ill patients, he added.
要采取恢复期血浆、干细胞、单克隆抗体等先进治疗方式，提升重症、危重症救治水平。

On vaccine, Xi said it is vital to epidemic prevention and control, with its safety the top priority.
