NEJM Group, publisher of the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), today took important steps to strengthen ties with the Chinese medical community through the introduction of NEJM 医学前沿 (Yi Xue Qian Yan), which translates to NEJM Frontiers in Medicine. NEJM Yi Xue Qian Yan delivers select, translated articles from the New England Journal of Medicine and NEJM Journal Watch to health care professionals in China. The Chinese-language digital platform addresses a growing need for trusted medical information regarding non-communicable diseases in China, including cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes and cancer.
NEJM Yi Xue Qian Yan, developed in collaboration with Jiahui Medical Research and Education Group (JMRE), is the authorized digital resource for providing Chinese readers with weekly content.

"By launching NEJM Yi Xue Qian Yan with JMRE, we are able to deliver the best medical information in the most useful format to researchers and clinicians in China, with the shared goal of improving practice and patient care." An NEJM editorial about NEJM 医学前沿, "Making An Impact on Clinical Practice and Research in China," was published on November 21.
