Abstract: Many beneficial bodies are involved in the health care delivery mechanism, such as health care providers, doctors, pharmacy and patients. At present, different kinds of unreasonable cooperation and conflicts on benefits between these bodies are directly related with the absence and dislocation of the government functions in the health care delivery mechanism in China. In the process of deepening the health care reform, the Chinese government should perform its public functions correctly, which it should assume, such as strengthening health resource planning and allocation, increasing financial investment in public hospitals and optimizing the compensation mechanism, strengthening the supervision of the health care institutions and the pharmaceutical industry, strengthening the construction of the medical information disclosure system, encouraging fair competition in the medical health service market, and giving up inappropriate price controls.

Key words: health care delivery mechanism; relationship between beneficial bodies; absence of government functions; dislocation of government functions; distortion correction
