With accelerating globalization and the rising cross-border spread of diseases, the global and interdependent nature of health challenges has been increasingly recognized, and the development of global health professionals has become a major priority for the international community. In response, the international master of public health (IMPH) program was launched at Tsinghua University in 2016. Through this program, an integrated ″classroom-practice-policy″ teaching system has been established, in which global health governance is combined with China's public health practice, forming a global health training model with distinctive Chinese characteristics. By 2024, the program had enrolled 175 students from 46 countries and successfully graduated 152 (86.9%) of them. Of these graduates, 139 (91.4%) were from ″the Belt and Road″ countries, and 132 (86.8%) had returned to work in their home-country health systems. Through the IMPH program, cooperation and exchange in public health between China and ″the Belt and Road″ countries have been strengthened. The IMPH program offers a useful reference model for training high-level health professionals in developing countries and is of significance for building a global community of health for all.
