China has committed to making private healthcare a larger part of the overall ecosystem, aiming for 20% of beds and 20% of spending to be conducted through private institutions by 2020. In order achieve this ambitious goal, the government has laid out multiple policy initiatives aiming to relax historical constraints that have previously limited growth.
