The information technology and technological advancements are transforming the global health care ways and means. Standing on this underpinning, three major entities, UNNC, Aurora and SCTC, each with deep connections to United Kingdom, United States and China,respectively, signed an MOU collaborate on global healthcare delivery. on the day where UNNC launched on its campus the “Nottingham China Health Institute”.

The three parties agree to cooperate in the following areas of activity focused on primary care and cancer screening:

1、Collaborate on the cutting-edge research;

2、Jointly develop the training courses for clinical and technical members;

3、Promote the international talent exchange.

“As a company dedicated to women’s health, we are truly excited to have the opportunity to enter into this collaboration with both UNNC and SCTDC,” said Ms. Olivia Ho Cheng, CEO of Aurora. “As China is growing in many dimensions rapidly, one of the collateral consequences is that breast cancer is becoming a major health challenge for Chinese women in the 21 st century.It is my earnest hope that with this collaboration, bringing in the information and technological

strengths of United States, United Kingdom and China, we could vastly engage in China anationwide breast cancer screening to meet this challenge.”

Dr. Da Hsuan Feng, who is both a Senior Advisor of Aurora and a member of UNNC Academic Council, echoed the enthusiasm of Ms. Cheng. He said that “There is no question that since its founding in 2004, UNNC has not only become an important academic institution producing enlightening students to face humanity challenges in the 21 st century, it is also becoming a major and strong bridge between United Kingdom and China.” Dr. Feng further elaborated that “As someone who represents both Aurora and UNNC, I feel truly gratified to play a role in this collaboration which can be considered as an attempt of bringing modern healthcare to humanity!”

According to Dr. Chris Rudd, Provost of UNNC and Pro-Vice Chancellor of the University of Nottingham, “I am excited and fully support this collaboration. I am especially excited to note that Aurora’s technology, the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), was invented by one of our distinguish colleagues in the University of Nottingham, Sir Peter Mansfield. Because of this work, he was the co-winner of the 2003 Nobel prize in physiology or medicine. I am very confident that with this collaboration, its consequence is not only to introduce modern health care in Ningbo, China at large, but to humanity in generally. This certainly fulfils one of the missions of UNNC!”

Liu Jingwei, an information technology expert who has studied primary health care for more than 10 years, director of HealthCare Transformation Innovation Center of SCTDC, said: "This cooperation is not only exploring the application of new technologies of MRI and AI, but also innovate a new model of primary health care service to achieve both high quality and low cost by applying technology innovation. It is of great significance to help China and other developing countries to explore new ways to effectively strengthen primary health care. " UNNC in Ningbo, China, is an overseas campus of one of the top British universities, the University of Nottingham. With the approval of the Chinese Ministry of Education, it is the first China – Foreign university to operate in China since 2004. Having nearly 8000 undergraduate and graduate students in a plethora of disciplines, is today a fully English language Chinese comprehensive university.

Aurora is based in Danvers, Massachusetts, is the leading corporation committed to fight against breast cancer through advanced technology in imaging and data science. Since 2009,Aurora has successfully rolled out the dedicated breast MRI mobile service in the United States,and soon will be in China as well.

SCTDC is the only entity of China Electronic Technology Cooperation (CETC) Group which focuses on healthcare business. It focuses on primary care transformation and led the first Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) pilot implementation in China.
