Afterwards, the Shanghai health system integrated the city's medical and health resources in accordance with the principle of combining central requirements, local needs, and Shanghai's capabilities. A total of 228 aid projects to Xinjiang have been implemented, with a total investment of 742 million yuan. 368 medical and health cadres and talents have been selected to work in Xinjiang.

Kashgar, Xinjiang is located in the westernmost part of China, with a total area of 166000 square kilometers. The region is vast, and the construction of the medical and health service system at the county, township, and village levels is relatively weak. In the new round of cooperation between districts and counties, the tight paired assistance model will continue to be promoted: in Minhang District, in addition to the connection between Shanghai Fifth People's Hospital, Minhang District Central Hospital and Zepu County People's Hospital, Minhang District Maternal and Child Health Hospital and Zepu County Maternal and Child Health Station, Minhang District CDC and Zepu County CDC, as well as 13 community health service centers and 13 township health centers in Zepu County, will also cooperate.
In 2022, Baoshan District promoted the "three reductions and one improvement" and public health capacity building project in Yecheng County. Prenatal screening for pregnant women filled the gap in Yecheng District where pregnant women were unable to undergo Down's and NIPT screening during pregnancy. In the past, pregnant women needed to go to regional hospitals for this test, and some families refused the test because they could not afford it. As of now, a total of 320000 yuan has been invested, and 960 people have completed prenatal screening, reducing the risk of birth defects in the jurisdiction. In the new round of cooperation, Baoshan District will continue to consolidate the effectiveness of the "three reductions and one improvement" project, pilot the free colorectal cancer screening project, and carry out the "Yuying" plan, targeting the disease situation of children and adolescents, such as establishing refractive records for adolescents.
Wen Daxiang, director of the Municipal Health Commission, said that the work of Shanghai medical and health assistance in Xinjiang helped the Second Kashgar Hospital to successfully establish a Grade III A hospital, and continued to move towards the goal of strengthening the Grade III A hospital. The incidence rate of infectious diseases, maternal mortality and neonatal mortality in the four counties of the city fell significantly, and the per capita life expectancy continued to rise. "Today's signing event marks a new stage of development for medical exchange and cooperation between Shanghai and Kazakhstan. Through sustained efforts and long-term persistence, we will continue to do our best to meet the higher-level health needs of local people of all ethnic groups."
