Based on a study of a mid-level city in China, these three scholars provide analysis and offer theory-based recommendations on health care development. Using a comparative policy framework, supported by a legal expert's knowledge of regulatory specifications, \u003ci\u003eChina's Urban Health Care Reform\u003c\/i\u003e argues that a strategy with priority in economic growth, as in the case of China, does not bring forth cost efficiency and equity in health care for the whole nation. Ultimately, Wong, Lo, and Tang strive to offer direction for health care reform that will lead to better health care in China's cities. As a result, this is a work of great significance to anyone involved in public health, social work, public policy, medicine, or law.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChack-kie Wong\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of social work at Chinese University of Hong Kong and, currently, a visiting scholar at University of California, Berkeley. \u003cb\u003eVai Io Lo\u003c\/b\u003e is associate professor in the Graduate School on International Management at International University of Japan. \u003cb\u003eKwong-leung Tang\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of social work at Chinese University of Hong Kong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 8.92 x 6.08 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 30, 2005\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52246792667410,"sku":"9780739113509","price":95.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/2211\/5346\/files\/uGLqWLKIpJ9780739113509.webp?v=1778100845","url":"https:\/\/ckbookstore.net\/products\/chinas-urban-health-care-reform-from-state-protection-to-individual-responsibility-paperback","provider":"CK BOOKSTORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
