Director-general of World Health Organization Margaret Chan is in Beijing on one of her last visits as Director-General of the World Health Organization. After ten years at the top, she'll be retiring next summer, but not before she gives one last push for healthcare reforms in China. Dr. Chan speaks with CCTV's James Chau in this exclusive.

Q1: We talk about economic reforms in China, but that's not going to be sustainable unless we have health reforms -- healthy and happy people to create and produce. A new report that the WHO has published with China's government and the World Bank, says better quality care at lower and affordable cost is achievable. What's the first step?

A1: Well, health and wealth have undivided relationship and we learn from evidence, bad health, you do not have the capability to learn school, or to do your best. So we encourage government to provide universal health access to affordable care. And this is exactly what Chinese government is moving in the right direction. "

Q2: You champion a "people-centred, integrated care". Yet, amazingly, one of the suggestions you make is to keep people out of hospital. How does that work, and how will they help achieve on health reforms?

A2: Hospital service is important but far too many people crowd to hospitals. Much of those can be delt with by well trained general practitioner in the community clinic, and this is exactly what China needs to address in the next step of their healthcare reform."

Q3: Let's talk about smoking in China, a million people die from a tobacco-related illness every single year. That's over 2,700 people each day. This is a huge battle you're waging and one you took to state leaders this week when you met with President Xi Jinping. To save lives, what's the one 'ask' you have of him?

A3: One thing I would recommend to the Chinese government for their consideration is to have a strong national tobacco control law. It is important for the government to address tobacco control.

Q4: The President speaks about the Chinese dream – what's your Chinese dream?

A4: My dream as a Chinese of course now I am the director general of the WHO, I do not wear my nationalities on my sleeps. I like to live in a community, I like a well-trained general practitioner to take care of my health and help me to navigate to use hospital services if required even for a common cough, that is not necessary and that is not good for health.
