In his meeting with Dr. Margaret Chan, director-general of the World Health Organization, Wu said China and the WHO have had very good cooperation during the past few years in such fields as epidemic control, health education, medical training, public health capacity building and developing traditional medicine.

China appreciates the WHO's guidance concerning the country's medical and health system reform and public health development, Wu said, adding that he expects to cooperate with the WHO in many expanded areas.

Chan said the WHO appreciates China's dual focus on people's health and economic development as it builds a medical and health system that covers both urban and rural residents.
