Universal health coverage in China part 2: addressing challenges and recommendations

This article is the second part of the series and provides recommendations for health financing and social health protection in China.

The artilce uses a health system conceptual framework and proposes a set of feasible policy recommendations that draw from international experiences and first-hand knowledge of China’s unique institutional landscape. It has six recommendations: instituting a primary care-focused integrated delivery system that restructures provider incentives and accountability mechanisms to prioritise prevention; leveraging digital tools to support health behaviour change; modernising information campaigns; improving financial protection through insurance reforms; promoting a health in all policy; and developing a domestic monitoring framework with refined tracer indicators that reflects China’s disease burden.
