Primary Health Care in China
China is one of the rapidly developing countries in the world. According to the world
health organization (2014), it has the fastest developing health sector. Even with its rapid
developments and enhancement in the health sector, non-communicable diseases are still a
burden. It is the leading cause of death, accounting for up to 87% of the deaths. World health
report (2015) indicated that the ratio had increased from 66% in 1990 to 87% in 2015. Therefore,
non-communicable diseases are a monster that china has to fight. The most common non-
communicable diseases in china are: cancer-which is the leading cause of death- hypertension,
and diabetes.
In efforts to fight the pandemic social justice and equity is paramount. China has made
efforts to distribute health care facilities across the country evenly. The facilities were meant to
bring all the citizens to reach the facilities regardless of their social, economic, demographic, or
geographical definition. It has tried to overcome inequalities that infringe on health distribution.
To solve the problem, it has promoted impartiality in delivery, health facilities have been spread
to the marginalized areas while being mindful of the privileged population. Peter (2016) noted
that social justice is a cardinal factor in the promotion of global health and an increase in the
world's mortality. China has taken into consideration the marginalized population while being
mindful of the privileged society. To completely solve the issue of inequality, china has gone
beyond solving a specific problem associated with health inequality. It has formed policies and
acts that check on inequalities issues and also adapted doctrines of equity from the united
kingdom constitution

To create a healthy and medically fit population, china has embraced the concept of
social epidemiology. It has tried to get rid of all the prevailing social inequality to boost
healthcare. Education is one of the factors that have an impact on healthcare. Individuals income
is another factor that greatly affects access to medical care. some relationships affect how people
adhere to medication and also influence their promptness in seeking medical attention. Nurse
patient relationships also affect how well one utilizes health facilities. It determines whether they
achieve maximum utility from the facilities. To deliver high-quality healthcare, there is a need
to develop social capital health; China developed a research body to study how to control
infectious diseases. It also studies unsanitary environments through data collection. study of the
data helps to determine the risks involved in living in such environments.thus they can be able to
advise citizens on the risk of non-communicable diseases that they are exposing themselves to by
living in unsanitary environments. According to Breslau et al., (2017) epidemiological studies
show that non-communicable diseases are a resultant factor of exposure and lifestyle
A research body formed in china partnering with the Chinese Union of Nurses indicated
that biological factors also affect individuals. health-seeking behavior and how they comply with
medication administered to them. Chinese people have very little awareness of non-
communicable diseases such as diabetes. There is very little awareness of its population about
non-communicable diseases. Human behavior is also a factor that can expose an individual to
risk factors of non-communicable diseases. Majority of the Chinese population does not know
how to control diabetes mellitus, and neither does it know how to control hypertension.
According to cheng (2016), exercise reduces the body mass index. Physical inactivity may be a
risk factor of non--communicable diseases like diabetes mellitus. due to a lot of weight gain, and
it may also result in hypertension. Education also has a significant role in influencing positive
