Evaluation and characteristics of government health spending in China / 中华医院管理杂志

ABSTRACT

Literature review, field survey and data analysis were called into play in this paper for systematic analysis of the basic models and performance of government health spending in China. The paper covered features and problems in China's health spendings and analyzed the growth rate and performance appraisal of such spendings. Recommendations for improved government health spendings include such six aspects as forming a consensus for building a new concept on government spendings, building a stable and sustainable health input mechanism for public finance, expanding government health financing capacity for assured health spendings, building a mechanism of balanced interests in health reform, intensifying health governance and government accountability mechanism, as well as reinforcing the supervision and assessment of government health spending.
