Abstract:
In order to meet the health needs of people, China’s health service system needs continuous reforms and adjustments. Health needs, equity and efficiency, quality of service, and the development history and current situation of the health service system are the four main dimensions to be considered during the building process of the system. This paper argues that building a people-centered health service system is the direction, and it describes its connotation from five different aspects, including human care, interrelated interests, primary health care-oriented, continuous integration, and conditions for support. This paper proposes the strategies and paths to build a people-cen-tered health service system, including to promoting the quality of primary health care, integrating health service sys-tems, and strengthening government’s responsibility.
