A Denmark–China exchange seminar on neuropsychiatry was recently held in China, bringing together policymakers, medical experts and industry representatives to strengthen bilateral cooperation on mental health.
The seminar was hosted by the Danish Embassy in China and focused on how Denmark and China can jointly advance innovation and patient care in the field of neuropsychiatry.
Danish Ambassador Michael Starbæk Christensen opened the session by underlining Denmark’s long-term commitment to healthcare cooperation with China and the shared ambition to improve mental health outcomes.
“Danish life science companies have an important role to play. For years, they have been close partners with China, supplying innovative medicines and high-quality medical devices,” says Christensen.
The programme included in-depth discussions with experts from leading Chinese hospitals and academic institutions, as well as Danish partners. Key topics included how integrated reforms across medical insurance systems and clinical services can support innovation in neuropsychiatry.
Lundbeck China also participated in the seminar, highlighting the company’s global position in neuroscience and its ongoing support for mental health development in China.
According to the Danish Embassy, the seminar forms part of a broader effort to strengthen collaboration between Denmark and China within healthcare, research and innovation, with a shared focus on delivering better mental health services for patients in both countries.
