Abstract:

To identify the current situation and the future direction for National Institute of Parasitic Diseases, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (NIPD, China CDC) engaging in global tropical disease prevention and control, a SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) was conducted among NIPD’s senior-level staff, directors and global health center staff, through a questionnaire survey on their perceptions of the internal advantages/disadvantages, external opportunities/threats faced by NIPD in global health cooperation. Four aspects of strategies were identified by analyzing the strengths-opportunities, weaknesses-opportunities, strengths-threats and weaknesses-threats combining with the survey results. The identified strategies suggested NIPD to adapt China’s experience into local settings and consider the demand of local partners during cooperation in global health, while improving its management mechanism of human resource and international cooperation, defining strategic work plan, preparing fundamental reserves such as human resource, technology and products to enhance overall capacities engaging in the global health.
