人民网引述中國青年報報導指, 過去幾年國內的醫療改革不成功. 世衛與國家發展研究中心的報告指, 市場化的醫療改革方向絕對錯誤, 違反公共健康的宗旨. 這份報告早於2003年完成, 但似乎沒有公開.
香港的醫療改革亦朝市場化的走向, 但面對著越來越多的新疫病, 這走向會不會造成更大的危機呢?

China's reform of its medical and health system has been "basically not successful", China Youth Daily reported Friday.
Ge Yanfeng, deputy chief of the social development research
department under the Development Research Center of the State Council
(DRCSC), China's cabinet, said in an exclusive interview with the paper
that there are "major" philosophical and practical problems in the
reform.
The DRCSC and the World Health Organization (WHO) jointly
published a study titled "China's Reform of the Medical and Health
System" in 2003. The research team was composed of experts from the
DRCSC, Beijing University and the Ministry of Labor and Social Security.
The report said the reform has led to a decline in both the
fairness of medical services and the efficiency of investment in the
sector.
The "business- and market-orientation" of the medical and
health system is "absolutely wrong" and conflicts with the proper goal
of public health, the report concluded.
"There are obvious flaws with the urban medical insurance system and its prospects are not good," the report said.
China's medical and health reform is itself badly in need of reform, said the report.
