China's Urban Health Care Reform From State

One way to describe the importance of social policy is to say it's about what is and what might be. This ethos is the driving force behind Chack-Kie Wong, Vai Io Lo, and Kwong-leung Tang's China's Urban Health Care Reform. Based on a study of a mid-level city in China, these three scholars provide analysis and offer theory-based recommendations on health care development.

Chack-kie Wong is Professor of Social Work at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and currently a visiting scholar at the University of California, Berkeley Vai lo Lo is Associate Professor in the Graduate School on International Management at the International University of Japan Kwong-leung Tang is Professor of Social Work at the Chinese University of Hong Kong
