Abstract

The Chinese government first introduced principles of health-care development for the nation in 1952. During the next thirty years, life expectancy increased by ten years. This paper provides an introduction to health development and different phases of health-care reforms in China. The first round of health-care reform began in the early 1980s, focused on holding hospitals fiscally accountable. The second round, aimed at balancing social and economic benefits, started in 1996. The third round began in 2007 and called for reducing individual medicalcare burdens.
