Health expenditure in China as a proportion of GDP 2013-2023

In 2023, health expenditure in China amounted to about 7.19 percent of the GDP, up from 7.08 percent in the previous year. Rising healthcare expenditureIn the past four decades, China's overall healthcare spending has increased consistently. Growing government funding and private investments have led to an expansion of the health system, resulting in more healthcare facilities, more beds, and improved medical technologies. At present, more than a quarter of the nation's healthcare expenditures are out-of-pocket costs borne by patients, with the rest covered by government subsidies and medical insurance. The improved medical insurance systemAt the turn of this century, China introduced a range of statutory medical insurance programs, including the Urban Employee Basic Medical Insurance, the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme, and the Urban Resident Basic Medical Insurance. The programs gradually reduced the high out-of-pocket medical bills borne by Chinese patients, while providing a more stable source of income for the healthcare providers. Since around 2017, the basic medical insurance system was simplified, resulting in two insurance schemes covering 95 percent of the population.

截至2023年，我国卫生支出约占国内生产总值的7.19%，较上年7.08%的比重有所上升。在过去四十年间，我国卫生总支出持续增长。政府资金和私人投资的增加推动了卫生系统的扩展，进而使得医疗设施、病床数量增多，医疗技术得到提升。目前，我国卫生支出中超过四分之一为患者自付费用，其余部分由政府补贴和医疗保险承担。本世纪初，我国引入了一系列法定医疗保险计划，包括城镇职工基本医疗保险、新型农村合作医疗和城镇居民基本医疗保险。这些计划逐步减轻了我国患者承担的高额自费医疗费用，并为医疗机构提供了更加稳定的收入来源。自2017年左右，基本医疗保险制度得以简化，形成了覆盖95%人口的两种保险方案。
