China’s health care challenges are immense. This report, the first in a four-part China Issue Guide series on the role of individual and corporate philanthropy in addressing key issues, examines the idiosyncrasies of Chinese giving and the role that philanthropy can play in bridging the gap between demand and supply of health care services in China. The report looks more closely at health care funding in China, the areas of most urgent need of attention, and spotlights case studies of successful health care philanthropy.
Professor Winnie Yip of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health was invited to write a chapter on the landscape of health care in China, including areas that require more attention and financial support: primary care, screening and diagnostics, elderly care, and support for mental illnesses.
Our data comes from more than 5,600 Chinese foundations’ annual reports mined from publicly available government databases; interviews with 29 principals, management teams of foundations, and social service organizations; and media resources including the Philanthropy Times.
中国的医疗保健系统面临着巨大的挑战。中国65岁及以上人口达到1.91亿人，占比13.5%，到2035年预计增长到3.1亿人。人口老龄化加重了疾病负担：癌症、心血管疾病、呼吸系统疾病和痴呆症患者迅速增加。本报告是《中国社会公益慈善指南》全四册中的第一册，探讨了个人和企业的公益慈善事业在应对重大公共领域问题时所扮演的角色，研究了中国慈善捐赠的特征，并分析了公益慈善事业在填补中国医疗健康服务供需差距方面可以发挥的作用。
我们也非常荣幸邀请到哈佛大学陈曾熙公共卫生学院叶志敏教授为本文撰写了一章关于中国公共卫生概况，以及需要增加关注和引入更多资金支持的领域：包括初级卫生保健、早期筛查与诊断、养老服务、残疾群体救助以及心理健康支持。本报告也基于这五个需求领域收录了多个医疗卫生公益项目的成功案例，展示了中国公益慈善在医疗卫生领域可能扮演的角色。
最后，我们对医疗卫生公益慈善事业的下步行动进行了总结与思考，希望能够为那些已经进入或想要探索这个领域的人提供一份行动建议，希望能够对探索这些领域的读者有所启发。
本研究的主要数据来自官方公开的数据库，共覆盖 5,600 多个中国基金会年度报告、40,000多个公益项目。同时，我们专访了29位基金会负责人、管理团队、社会服务机构及学者；也参考了大量中国公益行业媒体的报道。
