MEBO Group Enhances Global Healthcare Through APEC 2024 Partnership in Peru
On April 19, 2024, the MEBO Group marked a significant milestone in international healthcare collaboration by visiting ANIQUEM, a leading nonprofit organization in Lima, Peru. This visit, aligned with the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) 2024 activities, underscores MEBO's commitment to leveraging its expertise in burn treatment and rehabilitation across the globe.
Fostering Dialogue and Cooperation at APEC
The initiative began with a pivotal dialogue at the APEC summit in November last year, where MEBO’s Chairman, Kevin Xu, engaged with Peruvian President Dina Boluarte. Their discussions focused on enhancing MEBO's role in the forthcoming APEC activities and its broader contributions to global health. This led to a fruitful partnership with the APEC Peru Organizing Committee (COMEXPERU), setting the stage for a series of healthcare-focused events in 2024.
COMEXPERU has embraced this collaboration enthusiastically, organizing events that concentrate on advancing burn treatment protocols and rehabilitation techniques. MEBO’s engagement with local entities like ANIQUEM facilitates the exchange of critical medical knowledge and practices, enhancing the capabilities of both organizations in managing and preventing burn injuries.
A Visit to ANIQUEM: Sharing Knowledge and Resources
During their visit, MEBO’s Vice President Liu Gang and representatives from the International Department explored ways to deepen public welfare cooperation aligned with APEC themes and the Clinton Global Initiative. ANIQUEM, a self-sustaining NGO, has been at the forefront of providing rehabilitation services to the underprivileged, particularly young burn survivors, for over 25 years. In the last year alone, they have impacted the lives of 2,859 patients, with significant attention to children under five.
The MEBO delegation was welcomed by Cecilia, the head of ANIQUEM, who provided an extensive overview of the organization’s evolution, current operations, and impact. The visitors toured the facility, observing various therapeutic and rehabilitative processes, including physical rehabilitation, psychological counseling, and specialized treatments like hydrotherapy and burn pressure mask therapies.
Subsequent discussions highlighted MEBO’s ongoing commitment to pediatric care in Peru, sharing insights into the company's origins, growth, and significant achievements in public welfare. Both teams deliberated on practical steps for future collaborations, such as donations, medical training programs, and child care initiatives, aiming to formalize an action plan to accelerate these activities.
A Commitment to Global Health and Community Support
This visit not only broadened MEBO’s influence in the international healthcare arena but also reinforced its role as a mission-driven organization committed to significant contributions to global community health. Through continued partnerships and initiatives, MEBO remains dedicated to enhancing the quality of life and healthcare standards worldwide, embodying its core mission of service and innovation in medical practice.
