Join the Harvard China Health Partnership for a special dinner seminar featuring a panel of speakers—from Harvard and Asia—to learn and discuss complex questions such as:

  • What could China have done differently in light of incomplete and uncertain knowledge of the new virus?
  • Is China’s response unique to its governance structure or are there global lessons to be drawn?
  • What did China learn and not learn from SARS in 2003 and why?
  • Has ten years of health reform in China, plus quadrupled government spending on health, prepared China better for this outbreak?
  • What is the role of social media and digital health in this outbreak?
