There was a good report on the BBC world service this morning on Chinese healthcare. They have American style medical insurance and as a result despite having excellent medical facilities in cities, the rural poor who generally cannot afford insurance are subject to dirty, basic and often alternative practises. In particular there is a lack of coordination between primary health-care and specialists, a typical problem with privately run systems.

This is quite a good series for those interested in the private v public funded healthcare debate in different countries.

Saw a story on the world's tallest female(Chinese), seems there were treatments available in country, but not @ the local hospital. The local hospital let her slid rather than "lose face" by admitting they couldn't help her, but another place could.

Do you know what WHITE DEVILES mean in China?
