China has recently emerged as an important global partner. However, like other developing nations, China has experienced dramatic demographic and epidemiologic changes in the past few decades. Population discontent with the health care system has led to major reforms. China's distinctive health care system, including its unique history, vast infrastructure, the speed of health reform, and economic capacity to make important advances in health care, nonetheless, has incomplete insurance coverage for urban and rural dwellers, uneven access, mixed quality of health care, increasing costs, and risk of catastrophic health expenditures.
中国最近已成为重要的全球合作伙伴。然而,与其他发展中国家一样,中国在过去几十年经历了巨大的人口和流行病学变化。民众对医疗保健系统的不满引发了重大改革。尽管中国独特的医疗保健系统,包括其独特的历史、庞大的基础设施、医疗改革的速度以及在医疗保健方面取得重大进展的经济能力,但城乡居民的保险覆盖仍不完整,医疗服务获取不均衡,医疗质量参差不齐,成本不断上升,且存在灾难性医疗支出的风险。
