Abstract
When China was under centralized state planning, most medical services were provided by public medical institutions. Collectively managed and funded by the state, these institutions, though many of which served independent roles, in reality, they maintained more cooperative relationships with one another. After the Reform and Opening-up Policy was introduced, public medical institutions were on the one hand heavily influenced by reforms that encouraged them to cede power and profits to the private sectors; on the other hand suffered a blow of marketization as providers of social welfare.
