Abstract

The advance of medical technology undoubtedly could enhance personal health and public quality of life. Economically developed countries are developing toward national comprehensive care. In other words, the provision of national comprehensive health care is the common wish of the citizens and the government. Developed countries have almost achieved such a standard. However, the increasing national medical expenditure and medical expenses have such countries suffer from rising medical expenses in past years. The difficulty in fund raising becomes the common problem in such countries. There are several factors, including increase in income, extension of life expectancy, population aging, advance of medical technology, and increase in the supply of medical care. Nevertheless, it is wondered whether the increase in medical expense, personnel, and medical facilities would essentially enhance health care utilization to enhance national health. Taking medical systems in Shanghai as the research object, open statistical data of the government are used as the research data for analyzing the effect of governmental governance of medical system on public health. Research results show significantly positive correlations between 1.the governance of medical systems and composition of population, 2.the governance of medical systems and health conditions, and 3.the governance of medical systems and health resources. According to the results, suggestions are proposed, expecting to provide reference for domestic health care policy reform.
