Nursing System In China
The Chinese nursing system is still based on the "Principles for the Organization of General Hospitals" of the former Chinese Ministry of Health in 1978, which stipulates that one personal care assistant corresponds to three to four elderly people.

The reality is that one personal care assistant looks after ten to fifteen elderly, which makes it difficult to take care of every elderly.
