Public healthcare insurance is the basic guarantee for the human rights of life and health, and the Communist Party of China (CPC) has continually given top priority to healthcare at the grass-roots level, which is reflected in the achievements of a series of medical reforms over the last decade. Basic medical and health services have become more equitable and accessible, narrowing the gaps in resource allocation, service capability, and health conditions between urban and rural areas and among different regions and groups, which ensures a healthier, long lived population in the country.
