Extended data

After World War II, countries all over the world generally attached importance to the development of community health services. In developed countries, the focus of medical and health care has gone through the transfer process from grassroots (family) to hospitals and then to grassroots (community). That is, before the 20th century, individual medical care was mainly based on a single family. Since the 20th century, a hospital-centered medical model has gradually formed.

Since the 1960s, the focus of medical care has returned to the grassroots. There are two reasons for this shift: the first is the change of the concept of disease. People's requirements for health are not only physical diseases, but also mental health and good social adaptability. Secondly, medical expenses have risen sharply. Developing community health service is an effective measure to control health cost and improve health service efficiency.
