The exhibition features a Mobile Rescue Zone, showcasing an intelligent first-aid technology matrix presenting innovative achievements from pre-hospital emergency care to in-transit transfer in an intelligent and professional manner. Flagship models such as the next-generation negative pressure ambulance, 5G remote急救车, and modular multi-functional rescue vehicles will make their collective debut. It seems there's a part missing in the original text regarding "5G remote急救车". Assuming it should be "5G remote急救车", the translation would continue as follows: The exhibition features a Mobile Rescue Zone, showcasing an intelligent first-aid technology matrix presenting innovative achievements from pre-hospital emergency care to in-transit transfer in an intelligent and professional manner. Flagship models such as the next-generation negative pressure ambulance, 5G remote急救车, and modular multi-functional rescue vehicles will make their collective debut. For a smoother translation, it might be better to clarify or correct the term "5G remote急救车" if possible. Otherwise, the above translation should convey the intended message.

Currently, China's pet healthcare market has entered an unprecedented period of rapid growth. To seize the opportunities in this emerging blue ocean market, this year's CMEF has launched the AHC International Pet Health Exhibition, centered around the themes of "Human-Pet Sharing, Human-Pet Co-Diseases, and Human-Pet Transformation."
