Abstract:
Public hospitals in China keep growing in terms of both scale and numbers, further misbalancing medical resources equity. Such expansion has brought about a series of challenges, and a consensus has been reached to maintain their development in a rational pace. To this end, both administrative interventions and market-based guidance should be used, including planning for regional healthcare and medical institutions as well as improving both institutional and market-based mechanisms to guide these hospitals toward a rational control of their scale.
