The Jinggangshan Declaration: A call to promote the integration of microecology and One Health to support the “Healthy China” strategy

The Sixth Microecology and Health Academic Symposium of China Medicine Education Association (CMEA) was successfully held from July 3 to 6, 2025, in Ji’an, Jiangxi Province. With the theme of “Innovation, Leadership, Cooperation, and Development”, the symposium focused on the interaction and control mechanisms of microecology and hosts, as well as their applications in promoting health and preventing diseases. The event aimed to promote basic research, clinical translation, and industrial integration in the field of microecology. The symposium was organized by the CMEA and its Microecology and Health Professional Committee, and attracted over 4 000 experts, scholars, and young researchers from universities, research institutions, medical institutions, and enterprises, both online and offline. The conference featured in-depth discussions on topics such as the mechanisms of microbe-host interactions, the role of the microbiome in chronic disease prevention, and microbe- based intervention strategies. Attendees emphasized the pivotal role of microbe-host interactions in achieving personalized medicine and precision health. The conference highlighted the intricate network of microbe-host communication, which not only expands the boundaries of basic life science theory but also offers new insights into chronic disease prevention, nutritional interventions, and public health strategies. Lastly, Professor Chunling Xiao, the Chairman, delivered the Jinggangshan Declaration, urging the strengthening of interdisciplinary collaboration and the translation of microecological research results into practical applications to support the “Healthy China” initiative.
