In a rapidly changing and populous middle-income country such as China, WHO's international technical expertise and evidence-based policy advice helps the Government attain more equitable health outcomes, and supports progress towards the achievement
of global health norms and standards, as well as the Millennium Development Goals.
Cooperation between China and WHO aims to strengthen the national healthcare system to meet the needs of China's people, and ensure that all Chinese citizens have access to essential health care, especially the most disadvantaged and those living
in rural and remote areas.
WHO China puts the priorities set by the Government of China and WHO global and regional strategic directions at the core of its works.
