Apropos of the lay of the Chinese Healthcare land, it may become a screed (a long, tedious one). But I'll try my best to make it short.

' H8 ~* ^) ~! p" W2 H) vLike wealth distribution and many things in life, the Chinese Medical Care system is also a very polarized one: an overwhelming proportion of medical rescourses (let's say much much larger than "the lion's share") go to big downtown hospitals, leaving small ones in the township level and beyond with very little to survive on, which includes hardware (medical equipment) and software (manpower). Having been in the field for 3 decades myself, I have witnessed our small hospital go through dark and hopeless days when it could barely pay its staff fair and sqaure. For several years grassroots-level hospitals were totally abandoned by the go-v- and left to sink or swim all by themselves. Some chose to rent themselves out to private owners and others sold themselves out. The poli#cy led to alarmingly unfavorable consequences because under the circumstances every clinic/hospital looked to pursue only one thing in their medical practice - money, the love of which is the root of all evil; yeah, tell me about it. Fortunately our Healthcare authorities woke up to this and decided to redress the problem by calling the "renting out" and "selling out" to a halt and introduced the current system, which has lasted to this very day, roughly known as "Public Healthcare System". You'll have to forgive me for not bothering to check its official name out. In a nutshell, the government buys the service from the grassroots hospitals for the vast numbers of farmers/villagers, who will have to buy the government-issured Healthcare Insurance (again, no idea what the official title is) to be eligible for the service, a relatively comprehensive annual physical checkup being one of the service items. t& `5 [1 J2 j& [8 w J o
