Abstract

With the world's largest population at 1.3 billion and a rising number of foreigners, China requires physicians and a healthcare system that meets the needs of a large and diverse population. Along with rapid economic and technological advancements, the Medical Administration Division of the National Health and Family Planning Commission remarked that medical services through online appointments and payments have improved its efficacy over the past 2 years. According to the official report from the National Health and Family Planning Commission of the People's Republic of China website, China has so far established a total of 25,000 hospitals and 981,000 community health centers, that includes 17,100 dermatologists and 190,000 residents in training.
