China Senior Health Executive Education Program 

The China Senior Health Executive Education Program is an integral component of the HSPH China Initiative. The major objective of the program is to help China produce a critical mass of well-informed, open-minded, and highly responsible leaders and executives at the national and provincial levels who can effectively develop and implement sound policies while dealing with local issues. Given the public health challenges that have accompanied China's rapid economic development, there is an urgent need for such progressive and resourceful leaders.

Targeted at the top health policy makers and senior health care executives in China, this program is the only international executive program that is officially sponsored by the Chinese Ministry of Health. In June 2005, a Memorandum of Intent was signed in the Great Hall of the People by senior representatives from HSPH, the Chinese Ministry of Health, and Tsinghua University to start this program and continue it through 2010.
