Abstract

Great achievements have been made in China's medical and health work over the past 44 years. China now has become one of the leaders among the developing countries in respect of people's health conditions and health care service, and some of the fields have reached an advanced level. China owes its flourishing health work to the policy of 'put prevention first, rely on the progress of science and technology, strengthen rural health work, and give equal emphasis to both traditional Chinese and western medicine'. 'Health for all by the year of 2000' has been set as a strategic goal in China, and will be accomplished through increased governmental investment in health work and constant reforms of the medical systems.
