ABOUT THE SOCIETY
GOALS OF THE SOCIETY
The society aims to promote German-Chinese relations in medical science, especially through the exchange of scientists, doctors and students, as well as the exchange of experience in the development and expansion of medical care for the population.
As non-profit organisations, the German-Chinese Society for Medicine and its partner society in Wuhan have been performing an important bridging function between Germany and China since almost 40 years, in particular through joint events and exchanges on scientific-medical topics as well as health-economic and health-policy issues that are of great importance to both countries – in view of similar challenges in the health sector.
The society is also a platform that brings together excellent expert knowledge because of this established basis of trust.
