"South-South Cooperation -- the sharing of expertise and best practices across countries -- presents an immense opportunity for us to tackle the unacceptably high rates of maternal and newborn mortality in Africa, together as partners," Azfar said.

Song Li, deputy director general of the Department of Woman and Child Health Services of the NHC, said: "China is willing to continue to fulfill its international responsibilities to address the maternal and child health issue together with other countries."

The High-Level Meeting on China-Africa Health Cooperation, which will run until Saturday, is part of a series of activities ahead of the upcoming 2018 Beijing summit for the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation.

With nine thematic sessions held, it focuses on China-Africa cooperation in various aspects such as the health industry and medical-specialist training.

"African countries can learn from China's experiences of healthcare system building," said Ren Minghui, assistant director-general of the World Health Organization for communicable diseases at the opening of the meeting.
