Thirty million surgical procedures performed in China in 2010; surgery volumes expected to cross forty million by 2014

Being the world’s most populous nation, a staggering 30 million surgical procedures are expected to be performed in China in 2010. With increasing efforts by the Chinese government to provide accessible healthcare, Clearstate expects the number of surgical procedures performed to cross 40 million by 2014. China’s large population and strict one child policy, coupled with a poor knowledge and acceptance of contraception, drives abortions to be most common surgical procedure performed in China.
