Health strategies costs in China are predicted to reach about $2 trillion annually by 2025, driven by an aging population and government efforts to broaden insurance coverage, making China the second-largest healthcare economy after the United States. More than 95% of China's 1.4 billion citizens have access to health insurance. The Chinese government has been embarking on a variety of health reform initiatives including the "informization" of the healthcare industry. Regional medical and telemedicine services, which is called "internet+ healthcare" in China, are being implemented. The healthcare service providing business, health insurance, and pharmaceutical business are all transforming to achieve the goal of easier access to healthcare services and cheaper healthcare.
