第三届医疗与保险行业对话会的举办基于此前美中贸易全国委员会和中国国际商会推动中国医疗健康行业高质量发展的讨论，为生物制药和医疗技术领域的跨国公司与中国的健康保险公司和医疗服务平台面对面交流提供了机会。
During the forum, businesses and academic experts engaged in constructive discussions on various topics related to CHI, including policy direction, emerging solutions and innovations, and people-centered health services. Attendees shared their experiences and insights, as well as valuable feedback on how to shape commercial health policy, product design, cross-industry collaboration, and public awareness and advocacy.

This year also brought government healthcare stakeholders in an observing role, allowing the speakers to directly share their perspectives with regulators and policy influencers. The ability for US and Chinese businesses to constructively engage with each other along with government stakeholders highlights the efforts of USCBC and CCOIC to promote in-depth bilateral commercial ties.
今年的对话会也邀请了来自医疗健康领域相关的政府部门代表作为观察员，以便发言嘉宾直接面向监管机构和政策影响者分享观点。对话中，中美两国的企业能够与彼此进行建设性地沟通交流，也突出了美中贸易全国委员会和中国国际商会为促进双边商业关系深化所做的努力。

对话会的成功表明了跨行业合作的热情和前景，体现了完善激励政策、提倡以人为本的健康服务对中国医疗健康长期发展的重要性，以及中美工商界在共同感兴趣的领域进一步推进协调合作的意愿。
