Ambassador Huang Ping, Consul General of China in New York, took a wide-ranging tour of The Mount Sinai Hospital, sponsored by Mount Sinai International, an organization within the Mount Sinai Health System that is dedicated to advancing health care around the world. The ambassador, who is one of the highest-ranking Chinese officials in the United States; his wife, Madame Zhang Ai Ping; and a group of consular officials were hosted on Tuesday, September 17, by Arthur A. Klein, MD, President of the Mount Sinai Health Network, and Szabi Dorotovics, MD, MBA, President of Mount Sinai International. The group also met with David L. Reich, MD, President and Chief Operating Officer, The Mount Sinai Hospital; and Shirish Huprikar, MD, Chief Medical Officer, The Mount Sinai Hospital.
The Taikang Xianlin Drum Tower Hospital in Nanjing, China, recently began a 10-year strategic collaboration with Mount Sinai International. The consular group was guided by two Icahn School of Medicine physicians who serve as “workstream leaders” in the collaboration: Che-Kai Tsao, MD, Medical Director, Ruttenberg Treatment Center, The Tisch Cancer Institute, and Associate Professor of Medicine (Hematology and Medical Oncology); and Tao Xu, MD, Medical Director, Mount Sinai International, and Assistant Professor of Medicine (Hospital Medicine).
“The United States and China face many common challenges in medicine and health,” Dr. Klein said. “Mount Sinai and China have extensive and long-lasting relationships in clinical care, scientific research, and medical education.”
