Health Care in China and the West |
| |
Abstract: | While there is a trade-off of medical sophistication for quantity of care, caused by both a desire to avoid “elitism” and a shortage of resources, China has blended traditional and modern medicine into a system that provides basic care for all. With its emphasis on prevention and on use of paramedical personnel, the Chinese model may well hold important lessons for other developing nations at a similar stage in their history. |
