China in a Torrent: The Patient Parade

In China, the health care system is undergoing a deep change. From all over the country, patients flock to the large public hospitals; they wait in lines through the night. With treatment costs borne by the patients and the insurance system still underdeveloped, most people will not go to a hospital unless an ailment has become serious. And when they do, they prefer public hospitals. At the same time, private ones compete to offer the best staff and the best facilities. To survive, they need to attract the wealthier patients by offering better care. This widening health-care gap is now a top priority for the government.
