China’s contributions to global health considerable

For most of the 19th and much of the 20th century, China was called,“the sick man of Asia”. But those days are over. As President Xi Jinping observed,"China has bid farewell to the problems that plagued its people for thousands of years, including hunger, shortages and poverty.”China's ascendency is generating some questions. One question centers on the country's role in global health. This is because China is making rapid progress in all four primary domains of global health-health aid, health security, health governance and health information exchange.
