Hybrid forum hosted by BMJ Group and the Chinese Hospital Association
Shaping the Future of Hospital Leadership in China
Serving as a part of the 2025 China Hospital President Management Innovation Annual Conference, this sub-forum is hosted by Chinese Hospital Association and co-organised by BMJ Group, bringing together Chinese hospital leaders and international leaders in medical transformation and innovation to advance Chinese practices of hospital leadership.
The forum was designed to explore evolving leadership paradigms, institutional strategies for high-quality hospital development, and the role of research, innovation, and global collaboration in shaping the future of health systems. The event was divided into three main sessions covering the past evolution of leadership, present strategies for transformation, and future directions in research and innovation.
