This year’s CHPAMS biennial conference will have a special focus on Healthy China 2030 national blueprint. Since October 2016, Healthy China 2030 (HC 2030), a national program of action to promote the health of 1.4 billion Chinese population, has been central to the Chinese Government’s agenda for health and development, and has the potential to benefit the rest of the world.
“This conference aims to bridge our minds and draw upon global wisdom in the advances of health policy and health care in China and the United States. The Chinese participants have a lot to learn from the U.S. health and healthcare systems, both good experiences and hard lessons.” Chen said.
YSPH Dean Sten H. Vermund will make the opening speech of the conference.
