China Cure : The Rise of a Biotech, AI Medicine and Global Health Superpower - Ruby Wang

This is a book about health under pressure, and about what becomes possible when a country of immense scale is forced to innovate in one of the most difficult and intimate domains of public life. Some of what emerges is impressive, some of it is troubling and much of it remains unresolved. China has embraced innovation and technology in health care to tackle its own huge healthcare burdens. The strain of chronic ill health is both a challenge to the existing system and an opportunity to innovate in biotechnology and digital health. China's ability to operate at tremendous scale and pace has enabled it to become a global health leader in a matter of decades. Dr Ruby Wang offers an insider's perspective of where it offers lessons for both developed and developing countries, and how its rise is already impacting the practice and delivery of medicine worldwide.
