Conference background
Health is an essential cornerstone for public well-being and happiness. It is an important symbol of a country's prosperity and social civilization. The outbreak of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in early 2020 has posed a significant and far-reaching threat to many countries. Meanwhile, the burden of chronic diseases is escalating across all regions of the world. The resolution of these health problems, including COVID-19 and chronic diseases, typically requires interdisciplinary and transnational cooperation to build a community of a shared future for mankind.
The Global Health Research Institute (GHI) of Xi'an Jiaotong University, cooperating with other well-known institutions from China and abroad, successfully held three Belt & Road Initiative Global Health International Congresses in 2017, 2018 and 2019. Well-known experts and leaders from WHO, the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF), NHC, Health Commission of Shaanxi Province, CCDC, Asia Pacific Clinical Nutrition Society, CPMA，Chinese Nutrition Society, Shaanxi Provincial Health Committee, prestigious universities at home and in abroad, and other health institutions participated and shared their ideas and views. Based on the success of the three international congresses since 2017, the 2022 Congress aims further to strengthen the interdisciplinary and extensive international exchanges and cooperation, provide a communication platform for health-related policymakers, researchers and other relevant personnel from China and abroad, and help address major health problems faced by relevant countries.
