Healthcare sector reform and its influence on public hospitals in mainland China

Renzong Qiu. J Int Bioethique. 2012 Jun.

Abstract

The government has launched the healthcare sector reform since the 1980s. From the beginning, the reform has been controversial. What is then the real purpose of the reform? Is it only to reduce the government's burden of health care or establish a just and effective healthcare system? Can healthcare be geared by the market or should the government play a guiding role in it?
