Abstract
The Shanghai model of palliative care is a pilot project aims to build a national palliative care model, which caters to the requirements of the new medical reform: ‘government-led, people-centred healthcare and healthcare as a public good’ and the blueprint of the Healthy China Initiative 2030: ‘to cover all people, particularly older people in need’. The central government is the policy maker of the Shanghai model, while Shanghai’s municipal government is the primary organiser and leader of the Shanghai model. The Shanghai model aims to build a community-based model. Community health service centres play the most important role in the Shanghai model. GPs and other health care workers provide and innovate palliative care services in the Shanghai model. This study focuses on exploring the Shanghai model of palliative care, which aims to build a community-based model and adopt Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to cover all people in need.
