BETHESDA, Md., July 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) is sponsoring a visit to the United States by a delegation of key government leaders and decision makers from China's emergency management and response health sectors.
U.S. emergency management and response companies can market their products and services directly to the Chinese delegation at a business briefing on Wednesday, July 17th at the Sheraton Crystal City Hotel in Arlington, VA. U.S. companies can explore business opportunities in China by holding private discussions and one-on-one meetings with these key decision makers.
Over 70 percent of China's cities and 50 percent of its population are frequently affected by natural disasters. Accordingly, there is great need for support in products and services for emergency response and management of natural disasters and health epidemics. From 1990 to 2011, China's natural disasters have annually affected 400 million people, leading to $32.6 billion in direct losses. This year alone, China's human H7N9 bird flu outbreak has cost the country's poultry industry more than $65 billion. China has spent over $74 billion on healthcare programs since 2011 and has earmarked an additional $127 billion for health expenditures through 2014.
