From Editors
CHPAMS Newsletter is a monthly e-newsletter from the China Health Policy and Management Society (CHPAMS). The Newsletter serves as a communication platform to provide updates and activities related to CHPAMS and information of potential interest for CHPAMS members.
President’s Message
Amid rising tensions of global trade and economics disputes, the flattening globalized world might nevertheless become more harmonized if people can share more common values. In this regard, public health has been an appealing arena that could serve as the glue to bind people together. Encouragingly, the world has evolved with unprecedented improvement in human wellbeing over the past two centuries, although wealth between the poor and the rich has been increasingly diverging.
To promote a more convergent and sustainable world, what are some common global values our human communities could offer? What might be the role of public health? What part can China play during its health reform and transitions? These are some of the questions we keep asking ourselves as members of CHPAMS, a global professional organization for over 2,200 researchers and scholars around the world to advance public health research and policy practice. Our mission is to improve health and health equity and contribute to the advancement of population health research, practice, and education of areas including but not limited to, health policy and management, health economics, epidemiology, and global health. We strive to accomplish our mission by fostering and promoting scholarly exchanges among its members and with Chinese public health community.
As usual, you will find in this issue of CHPAMS monthly newsletter our exciting activities and events, media communications, job opportunities, conferences, and research updates. Let us work harder to move our mission forward! Happy reading!
-Xi Chen, CHPAMS President (2018-2020)
