Summary:There are three main legislative purposes of this law: first, to substantiate the provisions of the constitutional commitments of developing the national health undertakings and protecting of people's health; second, to provide legal ground for ongoing health system reform; and third, to promote and ensure the implementation of the Healthy China Initiative. The draft also clears that public medical and health institutions are nonprofit institutions organized by the governments at all levels for ensuring fair access to basic health services. In the first reading, a number of the Standing Committee members as well as others expressed different opinions to the title,[7] and in many other articles, the defects do not outweigh the merits since the submission of it to the Standing Committee of the NPC highlights a major achievement in promoting the rule of law in the health sector.
