Global Health

The Georgetown University Initiative for U.S.-China Dialogue on Global Issues addresses global health-related issues and opportunities for cooperation through research, publications, and events that engage faculty, students, and leading stakeholders in both countries.

From spring 2016 to spring 2018, the U.S.-China Research Group on Global Health and Migration, convened by Jennifer Huang Bouey of Georgetown University in collaboration with Cheng Feng of Tsinghua University, brought together a team of leading U.S. and Chinese scholars for dialogue and research around key academic and policy issues relating to pandemic preparedness, the cross-national movement of peoples, and challenges they pose for national health systems. The group met four times in Washington, DC, Beijing, and Guangzhou to identify issues of common concern and develop a shared research agenda that can inform better policy and advance practical cooperation in bilateral and multilateral contexts.
