Abstract

The Chinese healthcare system has been the focus of a great deal of attention from international companies who are interested in entering the world's largest healthcare marketplace. It is generally acknowledged that Chinese healthcare facilities, on the whole, do not conform to international standards; however, the specific areas in which there are differences are not well known or appreciated. An understanding of these differences is a critical aspect of the investment analysis and market assessment associated with a healthcare based business in China.

This article delineates the major differences between the international model for the provision of healthcare and that found in mainland China. These differences include physical characteristics, organizational structure issues, operational issues and financial management issues of Chinese hospitals, clinics and medical care providers.
