This book analyses the role of commercial health insurance in China during the 14th Five-Year Plan period.
Including case studies and the results of large-scale surveys, this book examines the changes in the nature of the demand for commercial insurance and how its development could proceed in an integrated way with further development of the pharmaceutical industry, medical services, and health management services. It goes on to quantify the impact of commercial insurance on medical safeguards and economic growth.
Utilising international comparisons and large-scale surveys to reveal both the demand and supply of commercial health insurance in China, this book will be a valuable resource for students and scholars of Asian and Chinese healthcare, insurance, and economics.

Its work and publications, therefore, provide great insights into what the Chinese themselves think about economic reform and how it should develop.
