Abstract: The private sector is useful for addressing affordability and accessibility in the Chinese health system. However, the role of the private sector in health-care service delivery and health insurance is still limited in China. Strict regulations, insurance designation bias against private hospitals, insufficient risk-managing capacity and crowding-out effect of expanding social health insurance schemes have hampered private sector involvement.
