Community health is a cornerstone of universal health coverage, health equity, and sustainable healthcare systems. As the world grapples with aging populations, urbanization, and digital transformation, new approaches are needed to integrate medical and elderly care, align healthcare and disease prevention, and modernize community health systems.
This session brings together health policy experts, practitioners, and international partners to explore China’s evolving community health strategies, with a focus on Minhang District. Since the 1980s, Minhang has pioneered innovative models—such as cooperative medical services, a three-tier prevention and care system, and the barefoot doctor model—which have since evolved into key components of China’s healthcare landscape. Today, these models underpin universal health insurance, family doctor services, and digitally enabled primary care.
Representatives from Minhang’s government, hospitals, public health institutions, and universities, alongside colleagues from Fudan University, the Shanghai Institute of Major Infectious Diseases and Biosafety, the University of Geneva, and international organizations, will share experiences and examine pathways for integrating care, prevention, and digital health in community settings.
This session aims to foster international collaboration and contribute to the advancement of resilient and inclusive community health systems globally.
