“…[A] public-private partnership (PPP) can offer an integrated and systematic approach to the development and purchase of needed vaccines, drugs, and therapies for public health challenges. … While PPP is increasingly becoming a buzz word in the Chinese economy, pharmaceutical PPPs remain largely alien in China’s new drug development. … Despite this, private foundations and international NGOs have forged partnerships with Chinese state-owned enterprises in R&D. … Relying on PPPs to deal with global health security threats has its own drawbacks. … Still, PPPs offer an important means to engage China to contribute to global health security in an efficient and effective manner” (3/22).
