The two sides had an in-depth discussion on current healthcare system reform and the potential areas of future cooperation between Denmark and China.

Denmark has one of the most efficient and equal healthcare systems in the world. The system is centralized by the government, run directly by the regional authorities to provide convenient and high-quality medical services to the residents. At the same time, the continuous research and development (R&D) carried out by drug research institutions, large invention of new drugs and the constant emergence of research talents has created abundant resources for pharmaceutical industry. Mr. Malecki’s visit has enhanced the mutual trust and understanding, while building a solid foundation for our future cooperation.
