Urban households in China saw their annual per capita healthcare expenditure rise dramatically from 25.7 yuan in 1990 to 2.4K yuan in 2022, peaking at 2.5K yuan in 2021. This trend reflects increased government investments and the growing demand for medical services due to urbanization and an aging population. Initiatives like the Healthy China 2030 plan and reforms for Universal Health Coverage aim to enhance healthcare access and quality across the nation.
