Abstract

For many years, China has had no unified legislation dealing with basic medical services. Instead of legal documents, the basic medical service system only exists as a set of policy files, but the citizens' right to health and basic medical care failed to be fully realized due to the insufficient power of such policy files. Thus it is necessary to legislate, and basic medical service legislation should clearly define what should be provided by the basic medical services, strengthen the government's financial guarantees, regulate basic medical service prices, and assure citizens' basic right to medical services. Such legislation would fully guarantee citizens' basic right to medical services, fully mobilize social medical resources, and improve the quality of basic medical services.
