Health Services
Liu Guoen, a professor at the National Development Research Institute of Peking University, pointed out that health services are different from medical services. The premise of medical service demand is disease, which has small elasticity, strong service particularity and limited market mechanism.
But the health service industry is a forward and backward movement centered on medical services. Being sick is not a prerequisite, but it is necessary to get sick less, slightly ill and late, and the welfare of consumers has increased. This market demand is relatively flexible, and the market mechanism plays a great role.
