Public system financing

There are three main publicly financed health insurance types with local-area risk pooling: urban employer-based (mainly payroll taxes, for formally employed urban residents), urban resident basic (mainly government-funded, for urban nonemployed residents), and rural cooperative medical scheme (government-funded, for rural residents)

Private insurance role

Complementary to cover cost-sharing and gaps, as well as better health care quality and/or higher reimbursements. No data on coverage, but growth has been rapid.

Primary care

Private/public mix (private village doctors and clinics; public township and community hospitals providing general practitioner services)
