Peking University, April 17, 2025: Jonas Egebart, Director General of Danish Health Authority, visited PKU Sixth Hospital with a delegation from April 10-11, in a boost to China-Denmark dialogue on care for mental health. 


Coinciding with the 75th anniversary of China-Denmark diplomatic relations, Egebart’s trip saw the signing of a Strategic Sector Cooperation agreement with China’s National Health Commission that will pave the way for cooperation in healthcare from 2025 to 2028. 

The two countries have been carrying out Strategic Sector Cooperation programs since 2019 — collaborating on critical areas such as animal husbandry, dairy production, safe and green maritime shipping, and water management.

Welcomed by Yue Weihua, Vice President of PKU Sixth Hospital, Egebart learned about operations at the hospital, China’s mental health development, and China-Denmark cooperation in healthcare. The two sides also discussed on a range of issues including improving mental healthcare and hospital ward construction.


Among the delegation and PKU officials in attendance were Anders Siegumfeldt, Deputy Head of Mission at Embassy of Denmark in Beijing; Han Jianli, Senior Research Officer at China’s National Health Commission; Sun Hongqiang, Vice President of PKU Sixth Hospital; and Ma Ning, Director of Public Health Department of PKU Sixth Hospital.
