Support for public health has been a significant part of CMB’s work since its earliest days, when John Grant and C.C. Chen of Peking Union Medical College started the first public health station in Beijing in 1925. Today, that legacy of support for public health is evident in CMB’s mission to advance health, equity, and the quality of care in China and Southeast Asia, and in particular in its commitment to the education of medical professionals who can respond to both persistent and emerging public health challenges in their societies.

Today – November 25 – we join other leaders in the public health and medical communities in observing Public Health Thank You Day.  We extend our gratitude to all professionals who make public health a priority in their work, thus helping all members of society to lead healthier lives.
