Prof. Li Mengfeng, Vice President of Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU), met with the Taiwan delegation, accompanied by representatives from relevant functional departments, schools and units of SYSU. The two sides exchanged views on humanism in medical education and hospital practice, and reached preliminary intentions on issues such as research topics, methods, medical student training and textbook publication. Vice President Li Mengfeng said that SYSU would promote Medical Humanities courses in the medical school in the future.

In the afternoon, the delegation visited The Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University and held a discussion on clinical ethics consultation and doctor-patient relations.
