Healthcare Reform in China
How efficient is the Chinese healthcare system? Milcent examines the medication market in China against the global picture of healthcare organization, and how public healthcare insurance plans have been implemented in recent years, as well as reforms to tackle hospital inefficiency.

Significantly, the patient–medical staff relationship is analysed, with new proposals for different lines of communication.

Where China is leading in the digitalization of healthcare, other countries can learn important lessons.
