Challenges in China’s health system reform: lessons from other countries

Abstract

We are very pleased to have been invited to edit the inaugural virtual special issue for the Australian Journal of Primary Health. This virtual issue will present a set of recently published papers from the Australian Journal of Primary Health that have been selected for their relevance to issues faced in China. It will be launched on 11 September 2017. We have written this Editorial to set the scene for the special issue, and as a general overview of issues affecting one of our most influential neighbours in the region.
