The Lancet
Preview |
In 2011, The Lancet published a special Series on the progress and future of health in India. The central message was a call for universal health coverage by 2020. Despite India’s Prime Minister at the time, Manmohan Singh, being supportive of this goal, the move towards universal health coverage in India has gained little traction. Public health spending remains desperately low at 1•3% of gross domestic product, while more than 40 million Indians are driven into impoverishment from out-of-pocket health expenditure every year.

During the past three decades, China has experienced the largest migration in human history, with hundreds of millions of rural inhabitants moving temporarily or permanently to cities. By the end of 2013, China’s internal migrant population was 245 million, comprising more than a sixth of the nation’s total population, according to the Development Report on China’s Migrant Population 2014 released by China’s National Health and Family Planning Commission last week.
