Community Health-care System for Urbanites under Construction

China, in 1999, began a decade-long revitalization of its community-based health-care systems. The goal is to provide convenient, economical and suitable medical services for urban residents. The massive plan, initiated by the Ministry of Health (MOH), has won governmental and non-governmental backing. Motherland Shenzhen, the China affiliate of Motherland Global, an international leader in health-care marketing, has long sponsored this plan that includes free health consultancy services in communities, nationwide touring lectures and a special report on health education given on October 22 at the Great Hall of the People. The report was presented by China's No. 1 health-care expert Hong Zhaoguang in honour of the 10th anniversary of the China Elderly Health Care Association.
