For example, during the period 1980-2007, China increased its income per head as a percentage of the OECD average from 3 percent to 15 per cent, but infant mortality fell no fasterDirections in development (Washington, D.C.)Rural health servicesChinaHealth care reformChinaElectronic books.Rural health servicesHealth care reform362.1/04257Wagstaff Adam140759World Bank.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454569203321Reforming China's rural health system2460783UNINA
