USA and China plan increasing private-public collaboration in the health care sector

25 January 2011

On the occasion of the State Visit of China’s President Hu Jintao to the USA last week, the USA’s Trade and Development Agency (USTDA), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Department of Commerce joined with China's Ministries of Health (MoH) and Commerce (MOFCOM) to announce their support for the establishment a new public-private partnership in the health care sector.

Initially, 12 US companies and six supporting organizations will participate in this partnership, alongside the supporting US and Chinese Government agencies. The partnership will be organized around US health care industry strengths and government capabilities in order to foster long-term cooperation with China in the areas of research, training, regulation and the adoption of an environment that will increase accessibility to health care services in China.

Initial participants include Abbott, J&J and Pfizer
