China is on a spending spree on health care, with total outlays predicted to triple from $357 billion in 2011 to $1 trillion in 2020, when the government hopes to have implemented universal coverage. The reforms include expanding insurance coverage, reconfiguring drug pricing, and promoting primary care, as well as money for research into traditional Chinese medicines and an overhaul of the drug pricing system—a move that could affect pharmaceutical research. The health ministry, meanwhile, is pushing the training of more medical professionals, updating China9s mental health infrastructure and backing the development of hospitals.
