2006:Turning Point of Chinese Health care Reform

The year 2006 was a major turning point in the development of China's healthcare system, as the government has pledged to take major responsibility in the health sector. This adjustment is based upon progressions in the Chinese reform's guiding principles, using conclusions from more than 20 years' experience in economic reform. It is a reform that is needed to solve a series of social problems, and it signifies a new stage of economic development for China. The issues that were debated in 2006 delved broader and deeper into this topic. Some of the issues covered were the Suqian healthcare reform, models of a future healthcare system and the feasibility of an Universal Healthcare System. These discussions have increased cogitation and consensus on the healthcare reform, and provided counsel for the reform. At the same time, affordable hospitals, community healthcare services and new Collective Medical Service(CMS) in rural areas are providing a foundation from which the reform will expand.
