Improve China Health Policy and Management Fund

China Health Policy and Management Society

China, as the home to one fifth of the world’s population and the third largest economy in the world, is now facing unprecedented opportunities and challenges to improve the health of its people. The fragmented and under-developed health system, the large disparity in health status across different sub-populations, the ongoing epidemiological transition, and the worsening environmental condition, etc., all point to an immediate need for a large-scale health reform and a large number of well-trained health researchers and professionals to assist in a variety of ways, including research, education, and public policy decision making. Unfortunately, China is now facing a shortage of such professionals with the needed skills to meet the country’s challenges, especially in the areas of health policy and management.
