The Cross-Strait Hospital CEO Forum was initiated by the Second Affiliated Hospital Zhejiang University School of Medicine (SAHZU) in 2011, with an aim of "working together to lead the new trend of hospital management in the world". The past ten years have seen the forum focus strongly on hospital management innovation and its commitment to providing a communication platform for hospital CEOs and hospital management experts. Attracting over 1,000 in-person attendees each year and over 700,000 online viewers in 2020, the forum remains the leading forum for hospital management in China.

Celebrating its 10th year, the forum wishes to engage itself with the global healthcare community by bringing together renowned speakers from internationally recognized medical centers and healthcare organizations to share their insights into the hospital management. The 10th forum therefore is going to transform itself into the Global Healthcare Leader Forum and takes place virtually from Nov. 18 to 20, 2021, with a theme of “healthcare innovation and efficiency”. This year, the forum has 13 sessions, all of which will be live-streamed, simultaneous interpretation in Chinese and English available with the opening ceremony, SAHZU-Harvard Medical Innovation Session and Global Healthcare Roundtable.
