Health Policy and Systems Sciences

CMB's HPS grant-making has aimed to build a community of medical researchers who can produce the knowledge, evidence, and monitoring and evaluation to improve the design and management of China’s national health care system. HPS provides the “intelligence” to continuously improve China’s national health care system by underscoring what works, what is not working, and what and how the system can be improved. Working through its long-standing relationships with medical schools, CMB’s strategy has bene to build the capacity of both individual scholars and institutional units, augmented by productive promotion and research.
CMB’s programs and grant-making are addressing institutional capacity building, through its support for Collaborating Programs; next generation scholars, through the Open Competition awards, Westlake Youth Forum, and other initiatives; and promotion and research, through support for the Westlake Forum, The Lancet China Series, and other efforts.
