Abstract:
The paper discusses the necessity and urgency of hospital ownership reform. and pinpoints the focal and difficult points of the task. It also identifies the goals of the reform, viz. establishment of a medical and health system that fits in with the development demands of a socialist market economy, which is of great significance. It can be seen both in theory and in practice that for a pretty long period of time in China, public hospitals, providing basic medical security for the broad masses of people will occupy a leading position whereas private hospitals known for their outstanding service and quality, will play a bigger role only when the living standards of the general population have reached a fairly high level.
