With more than 13 years of extensive experience in pediatric respiratory and infectious diseases, Dr. Wang has developed a profound medical expertise.
Confronted with the high mortality rates among children under five in Africa and the stark reality of inadequate medical resources in the region, Dr. Wang was driven by a commitment to improve the medical environment.
