Comprehensive, but unobtainable. The UK has the NHS. Average ambulance wait time is 45 minutes. Guess what, if you suffered a heart attack or a stroke you have an hour to get help or you die, or are permanently disabled. Some of the more remote regions see an average wait time of more than 24 hours. In a few cases it was 96 hours. I hate to break it to ya, but you're dead.

China's Healthcare System is Alarming: Can Medical Cloud Mitigate Structural Problems?
The most explicit problem in China is its very problematic urban and rural healthcare capacity difference. Based on the data provided by the National Bureau of Statistics of China (NBSC), the healthcare capacity difference is in both human capital and physical facilities aspects; the disparity is between double to three-fold. NBSC reveals that 576 million people are residing in the rural areas of China; which means, 576 million people enjoying and benefiting 2-3 fold fewer facilities and resources than the rest 813 million people that are residing in the urban areas. Moreover, to what extent Chinese urban residents benefit from the healthcare and social security system is an arguable topic, as well. Naturally, the disparity results in a disastrous mortality and life expectancy differences between rural and urban. It should be noted that while 27.5 physicians are serving for every 10,000 people in the USA, the number is only 13.5 in China.
