A specific role of village doctors in reducing disparities: a quantile regression analysis of end-of-life medical care
Our analysis highlights the importance of village doctors in providing EOL medical care to older people in rural China. It is crucial for governments to improve the village doctors' system, so that older residents in rural China can obtain high-quality EOL medical care services in their own communities and have a better quality of life before death.
