Abstract

Chinese health care was examined by three American nurses who visited China between 1986 and 1988. A thorough discussion of women's health care as it was presented to the authors is provided. Each author found the experience invaluable to her understanding of the world and the vast differences, as well as commonalities, between health care in the United States and health care in China.
