Over the last week or so I’ve been in China trying to get a better handle on health care developments there. I’ve written three posts listed over at the World Health Care Blog describing some of my observations that you might want to take a look at.

“Beijing, China — The weather is hot here. It must be from the anticipation in the air about health care reform. We hear that reports from major national and international organizations are mostly completed with the results starting to break into public view.”
“Beijing, China — The China press is reporting that agreement has been reached giving the “green light” for wholly owned medical service providers from Hong Kong to set up clinics on the Chinese mainland. China’s government has agreed not to interfere when it comes to pricing or locations.”
“Yi Chang, Hubei Province, China — At an unprecedented meeting of Chinese and American insurance regulators and university folks here in the Three Gorges region this week, participants are sharing ideas across a substantial cultural divide on the possible directions for the development of private health insurance in China and the various regulatory strategies for managing this emerging market place.”
