【Abstract】

Rural-urban disparity in health care has been observed in China. A healthcare system reform and merger of the basic insurance schemes have been taken to eliminate the disparity. A survey study was conducted in Suzhou to evaluate if such disparity still exists. The rural subjects have poorer access to and utilisation of healthcare facility and a lower insurance utilisation rate. They also have lower treatment and total medical cost. More effort is needed to eliminate the rural-urban disparity in health care in China.
