Most of the existing literature on health system reform in China deals with only one part of the reform process (for example, financing reform in rural areas, or the new system of purchasing pharmaceuticals), or consists of empirical case studies from particular cities or regions. This book gives a broad overview of the process of health system reform in China. It draws extensively both on the Western literature in health economics and on the experience of health care reform in a number of other countries, including the US, UK, Holland, and Japan, and compares Chinas approach to health care reform with other countries. It also places the process of health system reform in the context of re-orienting Chinas economic policy to place greater emphasis on equity and income distribution, and analyzes the interaction of the central and local governments in designing and implementing the reforms. This book will be of interest to policymakers, academics, students of health economics, health policy and health administration, and people who are interested in Chinese social policy.

The book places China in the international context, comparing China with European states and America. The authors also consider health policy within the broader framework of inequality and social policy, and explore the potential role of the private sector in a mixed system. The book is comprehensive, balanced and highly recommended. All who are interested in global health systems in general and China in particular should read it.“ Professor Zheng Yongnian East Asian Institute, National University of Singapore “China is amidst one of the deepest transformations of health care system ever tried anywhere and this is reflected in the burgeoning literature on the subject.
