foreword
W
e are pleased to launch this volume on the frontier challenges of health
philanthropy in China. in many respects, this theme has grown in significance.
Given the extraordinary growth of China’s economy and the consequent accu-
mulation of private wealth, China has achieved the necessary preconditions for
the blossoming of private philanthropy.
also, China has recently embarked on a massive reform of its national health
care system to achieve universal coverage with equity. That is a daunting chal-
lenge for the most populous country in the world, one which would benefit from
the contribution of private philanthropy. national health need and philanthrop-
ic opportunity underscore that health philanthropy in China is a highly salient
subject matter for both academic study and professional practice.
We have come together to co-organize this volume because of shared vision
and experiences. one of us (PG) has devoted nearly four decades to professional
philanthropic work in asia. PG served as the founding resident representative
of the ford foundation in China starting in 1987, and has continued China en-
gagement over the past 25 years with a host of academic, nongovernmental, and
philanthropic organizations. PG also serves as senior advisor for management at
the China Medical Board, which provides a direct link to this volume.
another of us (WZy) is Professor at Beijing normal University, heading the
university’s one foundation Philanthropy research institute. Previously, WZy
was the director of the Department of Social Welfare and Charity Promotion in
the Ministry of Civil affairs, the principal government regulatory body for non-
profit organizations, including private foundations. WZy is a leader and among
the most knowledgeable about the growth and emergence of private philanthro-
py in China.
Through our longstanding collaborative relationship, we have come together
as partners in designing and organizing this volume in celebration of the one
hundredth anniversary of the China Medical Board. We commissioned a series
of chapters on health philanthropy in China, and the invited contributors shared
views in two authors’ workshops. The 14 chapters that were produced have been
organized around three core themes.
We are thankful to lincoln Chen, Jennifer ryan, and tony Saich, who joined
us by undertaking the editorial work. They in turn were greatly assisted by holly
Chang of Golden Bridges, who provided logistical support and facilitated the
authors’ workshops; and Stephen ford, Duncan harte, Sun taiyi, David tea,
