ADB Supports PRC to Strengthen National Health Insurance Funding

Realizing PRC’s Healthy China 2030 plan requires a strong health insurance system that ensures access to high quality and affordable healthcare. As such, PRC’s National Healthcare Security Administration (NHSA) was formed in 2018 to streamline the performance of several insurance schemes. ADB supported a multidisciplinary delegation from NHSA, health insurers and academia to visit Australia and Japan, to exchange knowledge with national and subnational governments, research institutions, hospitals and nursing homes and to explore different models of health funding with a view to instituting reforms that will drive efficient, low-cost health services that are also safe and meet the needs of patients and their families.
