New Year Greetings from the President of CHPAMS
Year 2017 has been another amazing year for CHPAMS, we continue to grow our membership; hold high-quality webinars; publish monthly newsletters; and host policy-relevant and scientific discussions in our WeChat groups. We are proud of being part of this great community, CHPAMS. While we wave goodbye to 2017, we look forward to working with everyone to continue this journey to bridge between public health and health policy communities in China and elsewhere, and to improve the health and health equity of Chinese people around the globe. We wish everyone a Happy Holiday Season and great success in 2018! --- Dr. Zhuo (Adam) Chen
