One of the objectives of the course is to teach a set of principles, such as ethics, political analysis, economics and problem diagnosis as well as health policy making, which help training up a new generation of Chinese teachers. Also, it offered an integrated analytical framework for policy makers, which could prepare the Chinese government officials for health sector reform. The course also provided a forum for senior Chinese leaders and international experts to discuss and share their experience with each other, especially on China's health reform issues. Participants got to know more about the organization structure and operating systems after visiting the Hospital Authority headquarter, as well as the Prince of Wales Hospital.
Through the organizing of this Flagship Course, a closer linkage between the four organizing parties has been established, and the lectures were well-received by all participants. More importantly, with the successful Flagship Course organized this year, it helps in improving the Public Health System in China.
