{"product_id":"9789814425902","title":"Health Policy Reform In China: A Comparative Perspective: A Comparative Perspective","description":"\u003cp\u003eMost 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 China's approach to health care reform with other countries. It also places the process of health system reform in the context of re-orienting China's 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eIntroduction:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHealth Policy in China: Introduction and Background\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHealth Systems and Health Reform: International Models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMain Components of Health Reform:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrengthening China's Social Insurance System\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProviding Primary Care\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Hospital Sector and Hospital Reform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChina's National Drug Policy: A Work in Progress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHealth Care and Harmonious Development in China:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHealth Policy and Inequality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecentralized Government, Central-Local Fiscal Relations, and Health Reform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eChina's Health System in the Future:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHealth Services in the Future: Social Insurance and Purchasing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChina's Future Health Care System: A Mixed Public-Private Model?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Policy makers, academics, students of health economics, health policy, and health administration, and people who are interested in Chinese social policy.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47139805462768,"sku":"9789814425902","price":30.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814425902_p0.jpg?v=1763690989","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814425902","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
