The cultural view of health and well being in Canada and China are very different. The location of the clinic, the ways that the society treats the special needs and the health insurance plan for the poor are different.
In Canada, they have clinic in everywhere. People can choose the doctor by going to different clinic. However, people will go to hospital when they are sick in China because the doctors in China are concentrated in the hospital. Most of the people in China do not have a personal doctor because of the large population.
Moreover, for the special needs, they can go to public school and they have motorized wheelchair in Canada. But we seldom saw the special needs go to public school and they only have the manual wheelchair in China because of the different perspective of the society and technology differences.
Furthermore, the health insurance in Canada is well- developed but there is no health insurance plan for the poor in China. It is because of the population difference and lack of the doctors in China so that health insurance is hard to cover all the people.
In conclusion, the health and well being is more important in the point of view of Canadian. Chinese pay less attention in the past so their system and insurance plan are not well-developed but they are improving now.
This is very informative. How is China improving? At what pace? What would you recommend to foreigners and travellers when going to China?
