Provider perspectives on general practice in Henan, China: a mixed-methods study

Zhu, Jiming; Ariana, Proochista

Recently, the World Bank has been promoting integrated health care in China. In particular, Anhui Province (another populous province in central China), which just received a huge World Bank loan, has been synthesising different levels of health facilities within a county. This model is pro-PHC and adopts a de facto multi-professional team-based approach. By applying the findings of this paper, we are helping Anhui's health reform. Also, we are working with various stakeholders to disseminate this study's results, in order to develop genuine GPs and strengthen PHC broadly.
