Building capacity all the way from the village level to the Ministry of Health is one of the pillars of The China International Center for Chronic Disease Prevention. It is not enough to conduct research- we must also share our knowledge, experience and expertise with our colleagues in the field, with policy makers and the Ministry of Health, and the people whose lives we aim to improve by providing solutions to health needs.
The China International Center for Chronic Disease Prevention at The George Institute for Global Health, China hosts events around the year to enhance capacity within China to address the burden of chronic disease. We hold a number of training activities for our staff, interns, and local partners in addition to events open to the public. Three of our biggest capacity building events draw eminent experts from China and around the world to exchange information on the latest evidence for treating chronic diseases and hosts discussions with key decision makers on how to move forward to improve the lives of millions.
