The 2019 minimally invasive surgery summit forum, as well as the 8th Changchun international laparoscopic technical seminar, opened at Qian Wei Hospital of Jilin Province in Changchun, capital of Northeast China’s Jilin province, on June 1.

More than 400 experts from all over the world, including some from the United States and Japan, attended the event.

It was themed around innovation and aimed to promote the “Health China” plan, providing a platform for experts to exchange experience and discuss the latest technologies.
