“…Interviews with STI clinic managers were chosen since managers have first-hand knowledge of many operational variables unknown to individual physicians (e.g., laboratory grade). Focus groups were also used with physicians because of convenience and the limited sensitive material, consistent with other studies focused on operational characteristics of health care in China [17,18]. A purposive technique was used to select a convenience sample of STI clinics in Jiangmen City in order to ensure a range of clinic types, including public, private, and public-private hybrid STI clinics.…”

“…Among physicians, the vast majority (estimated anywhere from 70 percent to 90 percent) work in the public sector in public hospitals. 65 Healthcare personnel are disproportionately located in the eastern region of China rather than the middle or western regions (see Figure 7.5). They are even more disproportionately urban based (7.62 per 1,000 population) rather than rural based (3.04 per 1,000).…”

“…The same survey reported that the majority of acupuncture and moxibustion practitioners earn an average of 1000–1999 CNY [15]. Low pay, long working hours, and excessive workload are some of the longstanding problems faced by acupuncture and moxibustion practitioners in China [16].

Acupuncture and moxibustion are more integrated in the Chinese healthcare system than in the national healthcare systems of other countries. Development of acupuncture and moxibustion in China is making progress in this field. For overseas researchers, this commentary offers perspectives on the current status of acupuncture and moxibustion in China and examines relevant opportunities and challenges in healthcare reforms. There has been a steady increase in the number of undergraduates and postgraduates studying acupuncture and moxibustion in Chinese Medicine (CM) universities in China over the past decade. The legislation of CM physicians that was established in 1999 and the launch of continuing medical education in CM in 2002 have ensured the basic competency of practitioners. The Chinese Government has also shown support for CM development by increasing investment in related fields of research and administration. New challenges have emerged as the healthcare landscape in China has evolved over the past decade. It is important to harness the potential of acupuncture and moxibustion to create a value-driven healthcare system that meets the health needs of a rapidly aging society.
