A US doctor joins Chinese peers to push for Parkinson's breakthroughs. Liu Xiangrui reports.
In the past decade, 72-year-old American neurophysiologist Mark Hallett has flown regularly to China to work with his Chinese counterparts to expand and improve treatments of movement disorders and Parkinson's disease.
His most recent visit was highlighted by a Beijing ceremony at which he received the Friendship Award. The honor is the highest presented by the Chinese government to foreigners who have made significant contributions to China's social and economic development.
