The Covid-19 pandemic of 2020 revealed many weaknesses in our health care systems and structures across the world, and showed that health is a challenge that requires global governance and cooperation. Other issues such as climate change, the global prevalence of noncommunicable diseases, inadequate access to healthcare services and the lack of health workers globally also show that the need for global co-operation to deal with transnational challenges has never been greater.

The 8th Global China Dialogue (GCD VIII) will be held on the 8th December at the British Academy. It will explore these challenges and opportunities for global health governance, especially in the Chinese context, given China’s ageing population, continued economic growth and desire to reimagine healthcare management and governance. The Healthy China 2030 strategy emphasizes the need to develop the health sector in China. China has also instituted significant regulatory reforms in the health sector, while considering healthcare in the new global governance framework.
