China has the largest population and the greatest number of women in the world, which, along with China's ongoing economic and cultural metamorphosis, creates enormous challenges in the provision of health-care services for women. According to the WHO global survey on maternal and perinatal health 2007–08 in Asia, China had the highest number of deliveries, the highest overall rates of caesarean section, and the highest rate of caesarean section without indication. Women’s health has become an issue of increasing prominence in China.

Mass gatherings of people challenge global-health security. Religious pilgrimage, sports events, and mass movement and congregation of people due to natural disasters or conflicts are the most common cause of mass gatherings. Such mass gatherings have resulted in global disease outbreaks, including polio, meningitis, cholera, and the 1957 pandemic influenza.

Mass gathering medicine is complex, encompassing enormous challenges in a number of areas: communicable disease alert and response systems; water and sanitation management; environmental health challenges; travel medicine; vaccination strategies; implementation of international health regulations; national and international security; emergency preparedness; transportation; immigration; crowd management; border control, and bioterrorism and other terrorism management.
