The annual U.S.-China Health Summit is dedicated to the advancement of global health by promoting the exchange of knowledge, ideas, and experiences of healthcare leaders from the United States, China, and other countries through high level strategic dialogues, leadership development programs, and applied research.
Each year the summit takes place in either China or the United States. Sometimes, as was the case in 2019, a summit is held in both countries over two different time periods. ACCESS Health Chair and President William A. Haseltine presented on both occasions-first at Harvard Medical School in September 2019, then in Wuhan, China in November 2019. With each audience he shared leadership lessons and healthcare delivery solutions from his most recent book, World Class: A Story of Adversity, Transformation, and Success at NYU Langone Health. Below is the transcript of his presentation in Wuhan.
