Commerce Under Secretary Padilla Leads Health Care Mission to China

Under Secretary of Commerce for International Trade Christopher A. Padilla is leading 15 U.S. companies and trade associations on a Health Care Mission to Beijing, China, April 23-25. Participants from a broad range of health care industries – including pharmaceutical, medical device, health insurance and health services – will have an opportunity to discuss China’s health care reform policy with senior Chinese Government officials. Regarding the mission, Mr. Padilla stated, “A clearer understanding of China’s policy environment will enable the U.S. health care industry to more easily compete in China, raising the quality and efficiency of medical treatment there.” The visit takes place at a time when China is considering significant changes to the financing, regulation and management of its health care system.
