Health Team

Danish and Chinese authorities have a strong and close collaboration, which gives Danish companies and institutions a unique opportunity to interact with the Chinese authorities. The Health Team from the Embassy of the Kingdom of Denmark in Beijing supports the collaboration between China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) and the Danish Medicines Agency (DKMA) with the establishment of “China-Denmark Food and Drug Regulatory Cooperation Centre”.

The Strategic Sector Cooperation between Denmark and China in the field of health aims at increasing access to care through effective management of health systems in China. The methodology of the SSC-project is multifaceted, focusing both on facilitation of workshops, development of new guidelines, review of legal frameworks etc.

The Danish-Chinese government-to-government cooperation consists of two sub-projects signed in Beijing in January 2019, including mental health disorders with emphasis on detection of disorders as well as non-communicable diseases (NCD’s), marking the formal launch of the cooperation.
