A young Olympic champion volunteered to champion the pursuit of
human health in a pioneering medical field. On Dec. 20, 2009, Xiong
Ni became the first health spokesperson appearing at the World
Conference of Endoscopic Physicians. It's been an honor to have him
promote the application of endoscopic diagnostic tools and
treatment technology worldwide, benefiting human health.
"Endoscopic medicine is closely related to sports. More and more
athletes tend to choose the minimally invasive surgery, which is
unique in that it minimizes trauma, results in fast postoperative
recovery, leaves small or no scars, and has many other advantages,
so that many athletes can quickly reappear in the arena," said
Xiong Ni, the winner of the men's 3m springboard at the 26th
Olympics in 1996 and winner of both the single and synchronized
men's 3m springboard at the 2000 Olympics.

World Conference of Endoscopy Physicians; the Organization
Committee of the 19th General Assembly Session of Chinese Endoscopy
Physicians; the National
Evaluation Committee for Endoscopic Skills, Ministry of Health; the
Chinese Endoscopy Doctors Association; the Evaluation Committee for
the Endos Award in Medical Science & Technology; China
Endoscopy News Net and other organizations.
The vice-director of the Ministry of Health, Huang Jiefu, made a
speech as a host of this event. He said that China will implement
the issuing of an "Endoscopic physician license" to regulate the
medical profession in this area. He said, "This license promotes
the systematic development for Chinese endoscopic diagnosis and
treatment. To train and test endoscopic doctor before they work in
clinical fields will guarantee patient care and pay respect to
human life."
Currently, there are over ten million middle-aged doctors who can
perform endoscopic diagnosis and treatment. This new medical
treatment method has created a new specialized industry.
