As a recent Far Eastern Economic Review (FEER) story, "What's Up Doc," Feb. 24, 2000, highlighted, privately provided healthcare is rapidly on the rise in China as private clinics and hospitals proliferate across the country; in this article, Chia Chee Keong, senior vice-president of Vista Healthcare Asia, commented, "there is a burgeoning Chinese population that can afford private health care." However, while both Chinese and foreign providers are attracting a growing number of patients from varying socio-economic levels, privately provided healthcare represents a microscopic portion of the total medical services market and is still unaffordable for the vast majority of Chinese.
