WHO works directly with the Ministry of Health of China -- as well as with other ministries, UN agencies and various health partners -- on programs ranging from emerging infectious diseases to HIV/AIDS, from tuberculosis to chronic non-communicable diseases, from health systems development to tobacco control.
