Abstract: Primary Health Care in rural China is examined with particular reference to its development since 1978. The expansion and professionalization of the post-Mao rural health system is described and illustrated with examples from particular communes. The financing of the three-tiered health care system between 1967 and 1978 is described and some of the major problems in implementing current objectives are analyzed.
