ABSTRACT

Since the implementation of the Reform and Opening-up policy over forty years ago, China's health undertakings have achieved remarkable successes, which are closely related to the continuous adjustment and optimization of health policies. This paper conducts an in-depth analysis of the periodic evolution of China's health policies since the Reform and Opening-up, including the stage of market-oriented exploration (1978 - 1996), the stage of policy adjustment and improvement (1997 - 2002), and the stage of return to public welfare and comprehensive deepening of reform (2003 - present). It also explores the internal logic of policy evolution from the aspects of the drive of economic system reform, the guidance of social demands, and the transformation of government concepts. Finally, it summarizes the achievements and reflections of policy evolution and prospects the development of future health policies. The study helps to accurately grasp the historical context of the development of health undertakings and provides valuable experience and theoretical guidance for the scientific formulation and effective implementation of future health policies.
