The meeting discussed and concluded with the main driving guidelines as follows:
- Increase the number of liver flukes screening targets with urinary antigens in areas with high prevalence

- Driving food safety issues: Liver fluke-free fish
- Promote the implementation of liver fluke and cholangiocarcinoma courses in schools
We invite everyone to discuss them today to develop further from the past year’s operating results. What we discuss today must be integrated with relevant agencies.
