Epidemic diseases killed tens of millions, drought, flood and famine killed many more, and unhygienic birthing led to serious maternal and child mortality. The Civil War between Nationalist and Communist forces, and the nationwide War of Resistance against Japan (1937-1945), imposed a further tide of misery. Troubled by this extensive trauma, a small number of healthcare reformers were able to save tens of thousands of lives, promote hygiene and sanitation, and begin to bring battlefield casualties, communicable diseases, and maternal child mortality under control. This study shows how biomedical physicians and public health practitioners were major contributors to the rise of modern China. 410 0$aChina studies (Leiden, Netherlands) ;$vv. 26. 606 $aPublic health$zChina$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMedical care$zChina$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aHealth care reform$zChina$xHistory 607 $aChina$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aPublic health$xHistory 615 0$aMedical care$xHistory 615 0$aHealth care reform$xHistory. 676 $a362.10951 700 $aWatt$b John R$g(John Robertson),$f1934-$0642617 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810316203321 996 $aSaving lives in wartime China$94021315 997 $aUNINA
