ABSTRACT
"Healthy China" is an important component of Chinese governance system.It is not a simple combination of piecemeal health policies,but a system where multiple organizations and policies perform coordinately and well-functionally.Its key components include health policy system,major participants,institutional arrangement and supporting measures.Medical policies,health promotion policies and social policies that influence population health are three subsystems of health policy system.Government,market (enterprise) and individuals are major participants of building a healthy China.An administrative system that protects health,a well-functioned market economy that promotes health,and a system of social mobilization that encourages individuals to improve health are all essential for "Healthy China".Accordingly,progress in legislation,financing,human resources and technology shoult be in place.Considering its complexity,it suggests that China should take advantage of policy experimentation to find out a feasible way to achieve the goals of "Healthy China".
