China ranks 59th among 131 countries in terms of health modernization, according to a report released by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) on Saturday.
He Chuanqi, head of the China Center for Modernization Research under the CAS, suggested a roadmap for China's health development in five areas: system, daily life, service, environment, and treatment.
According to the report, based on data from 2014 and earlier, 25 countries are considered "developed" in health, including Sweden; 22 countries "moderately developed", including Russia; 33 countries are "primarily developed", such as China; and 51 countries "under-developed", including Kenya.
In 2016, the State Council, China's cabinet, issued a guideline for building a healthy China.
