In 2013, as part of its Centennial, the Rockefeller Foundation is holding a series of gatherings that bring together the world’s leading thinkers, innovators, entrepreneurs, and political leaders to identify, understand, and solve problems in innovative new ways.
Towards this, in January 2013, the Foundation and Peking Union Medical College (PUMC) held in Beijing China, a Global Health Summit: Dreaming the Future of Health for the Next 100 Years. The two hosts each brought a one hundred year track record in public health.
The Summit gathered 112 prominent leaders from government, international organizations, academia, civil society and business and from numerous disciplines to discuss the question: “How will we enable the growth and development of healthy societies over the next 100 years?”
