At the meeting, the BMDAC expressed its approval for the outstanding performances BMUH had achieved in the Canadian-Sino medical academic exchanges in the recent years and granted our hospital an award in recognition of our outstanding contribution to the mutual exchange. Based on the previous academic exchanges, they agreed on the establishment of a technique-based cooperative hospital in October, 2018, and professional exchange and cooperation. They also reached a consensus on carrying out clinical and scientific research training and long-term cooperation.

We look forward to promoting the cooperation with BMDAC and introducing advanced techniques from Canadian medical institutions so as to boost our disciplinary development and integration with the world.
