Women's Healthcare in China

Women's Healthcare In China

American researchers, who traveled to China in the 1970’s during the late Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), found that there were numerous conferences in factories and in health centers about the importance of family planning and uses of contraceptives. In the Cultural Revolution, the People’s Republic of China began implementing women’s health care policy. It is individualistic in each case but most people follow the one child policy. In some instances the male or female would be sterilized, or more commonly abortion was recommended (Wegman, 222). Healthcare was something that women workers are entitled too. It was required that every female worker in China receives urinalysis and systematic vaginal examinations every year (Wegman, 222).
