Abstract
This essay explores the present conditions, issues and problems, and medical equity issues in China. This essay, given the actual context of the healthcare system in China, looks into the problems of medical resource allocation, medical security mechanisms, medical quality, and inequalities of medical services provided to different groups of society. The research also evaluates the Healthy China 2030 program and policies such as Basic Medical Insurance (BMI), Urban Resident-Rural Resident Basic Medical Insurance (BURI), New cooperative Medical system (NCRS) and many others. Numerous disparities continue to be evident in healthcare regarding structural enhancements and coverage; these inequalities are especially pronounced in rural areas and among the elderly population. The paper further identifies inequalities in resource allocation, the absence of policies, and disparities in policy application among various types of hospitals and regions of the country, recommending the improvisation of policies and the initiation of policies that develop telemedicine.
