ABSTRACT
The Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China stated that China should develop 'collaborative mechanisms for networked grassroots-level healthcare'. One of the major issues for the World Health Organization (WHO) as well as countries around the world is exactly how to create systems that promote health. Research from the WHO indicates that 15% of a person's health is determined by his genetic makeup, 10% by social conditions, 8% by medical conditions, and 7% by the natural environment. Issues that affect China's health are not limited to the difficulties in getting in to see a doctor or having enough money to buy drugs. The core substance of medical models is, naturally, medicine. Medicine includes two aspects, however, namely understanding as generated by thinking, and action as generated by experience. As a dynamic process, a health model is an important way to describe the progress of mankind's health.
