By 2012, China's new healthcare reforms have been launched for four years since 2009.The goal of new healthcare reforms is to insure that everyone has access to basic medical service, to reinstate the non-profit nature of medical service systems, and to transform the system of public health services in order to adapt to the change of population structure and disease spectrum.Until now, current reform makes clarification on medical system financing and sets up basic framework at primary-level medical and healthcare institutions.This year, healthcare reforms have stepped into the most important and the most complicated area, which is the reform of public hospitals.However, we have to admit that there is still uncertainty on the reforms at primary-level medical and healthcare institutions; and the public hospitals reform is also at an exploratory stage where only the framework has been layed out.In other words, medical system financing does not materialize into practical services.Therefore, reforms related to medical and healthcare institutions are the key part of future plan.
