During the "Ask China" social media Q&A campaign, we received many questions about China's healthcare reform. One participant studying biotechnology expressed particular interest in how medical services are developing, especially outside major cities: Are healthcare services in less-developed regions equally accessible and of reliable quality?

In today's video, we explore this topic in detail. We explain how China has strengthened its primary healthcare system, promoted a hierarchical medical service system so that more patients can receive treatment close to home, and how digital health tools such as telemedicine and online consultations connect remote areas with medical resources in large cities. We also discuss how these reforms improve accessibility and overall service quality for ordinary people.
