Abstract: Abstract This chapter describes and discusses the context of this research project. To be more specific, this chapter aims to (1) provide a perspective on the context; and (2) enhance the contextual sensitivity, which is essential to the researchers in order to understand, contextualise, and interpret informants’ responses. To achieve these two aims, this chapter discusses five contextual issues: the development and current situation of TCM, the development and current situation of WM, differences between TCM and WM, the structure of the Chinese healthcare system, and the patient-centred approach in Chinese healthcare organisations.
