Overuse of drugs in rural areas of China has led to a growing concern regarding service quality and cost. The study found evidence of high levels of drug use in some rural health facilities in comparison with a number of other developing countries. Such a result was significantly associated with the government policy of financing health care, regulation and monitoring of health services, and users' attitudes and behaviour. It underlines the need for measures to be taken in China to improve drug use in order to allow its population access to effective care at reasonable cost.
中国农村地区药物的过度使用引发了对服务质量和成本的日益关注。该研究发现，与其他一些发展中国家相比，中国一些农村医疗机构存在药物高使用量的情况。这一结果与政府的医疗保健融资政策、卫生服务监管以及使用者的态度和行为显著相关。它强调了中国需要采取措施来改善药物使用情况，以便让民众能够以合理的成本获得有效的医疗服务。
