Healthcare and Social Insurance

There are three types of medical institutions in the Mainland:

• public hospitals: classified into three grades, i.e. Grade 1 – hospitals at the community (street) level; Grade 2 – hospitals at the county (district) level; Grade 3 – hospitals at the municipal level;
• private hospitals: medical institutions established through private funds;
• foreign-owned hospitals: medical institutions established through foreign investment.

All grades of hospitals are categorised under three classes, i.e. A, B and C, upon assessment according to the Management Standards on the Classification of Hospital. There is a special class for Grade 3 hospitals, so hospitals are sorted into ten classes in three grades. “Grade 3, Class A hospitals” are now the highest rank of hospitals in the Mainland, providing high-quality specialist healthcare services and also engaging in teaching and scientific research.
