Abstract

In order to promote the development of China's healthcare industry, the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE) launched a major advisory implement the "Healthy China" strategy and project in 2015: the Research on the Development Strategy of China's Healthcare Industry project. Since the start of the project, the project team has organized 28 academicians and more than 150 experts to conduct an extensive social investigation of a total of 12 cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and other first-, second-, and third-tier cities. Based on this investigation, this paper introduces the concept, implications, and development features of the domestic healthcare industry in China in order to investigate its development status. With the objective of establishing a comprehensive healthcare security system that includes full coverage and complete processes, this paper conducts an in-depth study of the positioning and development concepts of the healthcare industry and of the ideal healthcare modes for urban and rural areas. Next, in view of key problems such as health management system construction, healthcare for the aged, the combination of healthcare with medicine, health insurance, private medical institutions, and financial security for healthcare systems, this paper discusses the security measures that should be introduced in order to comply with the development strategy of China’s healthcare industry, and makes relevant suggestions.
