Abstract
The Westlake Forum III “Healthcare Reform in China and the U.S.: Similarities, Differences and Challenges” was held on April 10-12, 2011, at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. It was a resounding success resulting from joint efforts of Emory Global Health Institute, Zhejiang University Medical School, and the China Medical Board (CMB). More than 250 scholars and practitioners from leading academic and governmental institutions in China and the United States gathered to compare healthcare reform in the two countries and its impact on cost, quality and access to care.
