Evolutionary logic and governance mechanisms of China's non-public hemodialysis centres (2009--2026): a mixed-methods policy analysis extending Kingdon's Multiple Streams Framework

Key takeaways

China's private dialysis centers grew to 903 by April 2026, after the 2009 health reforms opened the door to them. This study mixes policy documents and interviews to explain why they spread and what rules and money fights hold them back. It describes what happened and offers an explanation, but it cannot prove which policies caused the growth. It is a preprint, so it has not been peer reviewed.
