Yanzhong Huang spoke at the 2012 GHCHealth Annual Conference on the panel at the Business of Health Diplomacy Session.
CSIS Global Health Policy Center hosted this half-day conference in which Yanzhong Huang discusses the involvement of the BRICS in global health activities. He suggested that some of the BRICS, such as China, engage in global health policy and programmatic efforts to demonstrate that they are responsible international stakeholders, able and willing to respect international rules and adopt a normative multilateral approach to global health governance.
