"…..A scientific collaboration on China and global health launched by The
Lancet, Peking University Health Sciences Centre, and the China Medical

This Series-focusing on health-system Reform in China - consists of 19
commissioned research papers that bring together the most recent scientific

institutional alliances that can strengthen the health - and ameliorate the
adverse social and environmental determinants of health - of the Chinese
people….."
