Pfizer and PlaNet study options for health care expansion in China

29 March 2009

US pharmaceutical giant Pfizer and PlaNet Finance have teamed up to conduct an in-depth research project on the health care needs of the  working poor in China. The study will examine the availability and  existing sources of medicines, patients' purchasing patterns and the  level of access to medical services. Ultimately, it aims to help both  organizations identify models that may enhance and expand access to  medicines and health care services for the working poor in China.

The Chinese Ministry of Health recently released the results of its 4th  National Health Survey, an extensive document covering health care  patterns across the country. The Pfizer and PlaNet collaboration is  designed to solicit additional information from low-income populations  in China to complement existing and planned government efforts to  improve health care.
