BEIJING - The Covid-19 pandemic exposed flaws in China’s healthcare system that need to be remedied, a former top official said on Saturday.

“Under the impact of the epidemic of the century, China’s public health and medical system have withstood the test. But some problems have also been exposed. Calling for a shift in thinking about medical care, he said patients should understand the concept of paying for consultation, rather than being willing to only pay for medication, which results in doctors overprescribing drugs. This in turn leads to wastage when people hoard medicines until they expire.

“The quality of our biomedical innovation is still far behind that of developed countries and multinational companies,” he said.
