A Grande Muralha da Saúde: Uma Jornada pela Saúde Pública Chinesa

How does public health work in China? In this video, we take you on a historical and documentary journey through the evolution of the Chinese health system, from the origins of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to the contemporary universal model. Understand the revolutionary impact of the "Barefoot Doctors" in the 1960s, and how this experience influenced the Alma-Ata Declaration (1978) as well as the Community Health Agents in the SUS (Unified Health System) here in Brazil. We also analyze Deng Xiaoping’s economic reform and how "market socialism" shaped the hospital and medical system of modern-day China.
