Cultivating Healthcare Workers in China

Cultivating Healthcare Workers in China is a program Daiichi Sanyo started in 2015 to improve access to medical services in the Yunnan province of China.

Together with Plan International, the following initiatives will be implemented in six townships (approximately 60,000 households) in Guangnan County, Yunnan Province to improve health and nutritional conditions of children under the age of five in impoverished areas where ethnic minorities reside through improvement of the healthcare system. The project aims to:

1. Develop medical professionals in community healthcare through training on integrated management of childhood illnesses, including the management of pneumonia, diarrhea, asthma, and other non-communicable childhood diseases.

2. Offer education to improve the capability of local pediatric care by establishing a community center based on:

  • Data published by Health Administration of Guangnan County.
  • Data from a baseline by Plan International.

The data for this program has been reviewed by both the companies and the Access Observatory team.

Access Accelerated in Action articulates the six cross-cutting principles that underpin the initiative’s commitment to strengthening NCD programs.

Through a series of 19 case studies, the report examines how member companies have incorporated these principles into their programmatic work.
