ABSTRACT
Objective Perform a quantitative analysis on the development stage of Universal Health Coverage (UHC)in China and discuss key options for scaling up UHC in China.Methods Quantitative addition model was used to analyze the UHC trend in China from 2003-2011,along with a sensitivity analysis and international comparison with the UK.Results The quantitative analysis showed that the UHC in China,for the year of 2003,2008 and 2011 were 2.79,2.32 and 2.60 respectively.Sensitivity analysis showed the integration of the health insurance schemes and scaling up the risk pooling levels contributed more than other factors to UHC in China.Conclusion The UHC in China has been developed to the mid-stage,but still lags far behind developed countries like the UK.Such general measures as equalization of benefits and scaling up of the risk pooling level should be taken.First of all,equalization of medical benefits for both rural and urban residents makes the fundamental priority and policy in the pursuit of UHC in China.
