HONG KONG (Reuters) - China's national medical insurance fund ran a small surplus last year, a healthcare authority said on Saturday, a rare disclosure following public concern that the fund was losing money due to massive COVID-19 tests.
The fund received 2.88 trillion yuan ($441 billion)Â in income in 2021 while spending 2.4 trillion yuan, the National Healthcare Security Administration said in a statement on its website.
