Editorial Introduction

The March 2013 issue of China Health Review includes an interview with Professor BA Denian, an article by Professor Baogang Guo, and a special interview with Professor Richard Rothenberg, in addition to our usual sections.

In an Interview with Dr. Yi Pan, Professor BA Denian, an elected member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and the U.S. Institute of Medicine, recounted his educational experience and career path, outlined his vision of medical education in China, and shared his thoughts on the development of health policy and public health in China.

In the Perspective section, Professor Baogang Guo reviewed the history of China's healthcare reform, offered his perspectives on the unintended consequences of the (earlier) reform and on the future direction of the reform.

We started a Special Interview series in this issue. The purpose of the series is to facilitate a dialogue between health policy and systems sciences (HPSS) researchers in China and editors of international journals with HPSS-related focuses and scopes. Dr. Richard Rothenberg, Editor-in-Chief of Annals of Epidemiology, described the history and scopes of the Annals, offered his comments and suggestions to HPSS researchers from China (certainly many others would find his comments useful as well!) on research topic selection, use of methodology, etc. He concluded with a message to Chinese authors − "[W]e welcome articles from China on all fronts that are of global interest".

Research Twitter provides summaries of eight recent publications, covering topics such as reducing HIV-related stigma, full coverage of hypertension drugs in rural China, cost-effectiveness of a hypertension control intervention in community health centers, family planning and sex ratio, labor supply of healthcare professionals, disparities in healthcare utilization in China, behavioral and molecular of risky sexual contacts in a sample of Chinese HIV-infected men who have sex with men, and the effect of the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme on utilization of medical care among adults over 45.

Policy Practice and Updates includes seven updates concerning topics including healthcare reform, public hospital reform, drug administration, China's five-year plan for health sector, basic medicine,  and pharmaceutical market. 

In About CHPAMS, we introduce to you Dr. Yinan Peng, a research fellow for the Task Force on Community Preventive Services. You will also find recent career and professional updates for Professor Peixuan Guo.  

News and Announcements section features job opportunities with Harvard University and Sun Yat-Sen University. Please also find a call-for-questions for our special interviews with journal editors, and a call for submissions for the CHPAMS Best Papers Award (deadline: April 30, 2013).
