In 2013, he initiated the establishment of “Beijing Children's Hospital Group” (later evolved into Futang Research Center of Pediatric Development), sharing pools of experts, clinical diagnosis, research, training resources, prevention and management among 20 children’s hospitals at provincial level in China.
