(Invited VIP guests) Ten years of health-care reform in China: Progress and gaps in Universal Health Coverage Professor Winnie Yip, Harvard China Health Partnership On October 8, 2019 from 6-8 pm, the Harvard China Health Partnership invites you to our next dinner seminar. In 2009, China launched major health-care reform to provide all citizens with equal access to basic health care with reasonable quality and financial risk protection. The Government quadrupled its funding for health, expanded social insurance for all, and encouraged local governments to conduct pilots to reform their health delivery system. In 10 years, China has made substantial progress in improving equal access to care and enhancing financial protection, especially for people of lower socioeconomic status. However, gaps remain. Professor Winnie Yip will be joined by a panel of speakers who will comment on future prospects for China’s health care system and will engage with the audience on lessons to be drawn for other countries aspiring to achieve universal health coverage.
