COMMUNITY services are part of the core of China＇s health care system. In urban neighborhoods today, community healthcare centers are seldom more than 15 minutes＇ walk away. With their medical treatmentsacross the board, inexpensive prescriptions and considerate service, community clinics are becoming popular in China. More residents are preferring to turn first to community healthcare centers rather than major hospitals.
TO urbanites on China’s mainland, residents’ committees are the closest basic social unit to families and their danwei, or work unit-traditionally a tightly knit community. The first residents’ committee in the PRC was established in Hangzhou’s Shangcheng District, Zhejiang Province, on October 23,1949.
