Health and education are two cornerstones of human capital. Human capital are an important source of economic growth and development, it has been recognized that education is an important factor to improve the quality of human capital. However, health as an important component of human capital one of the factors, health for economic development was less talked. This article is just on this basis, through analysis of the relevant theoretical research summary, in-depth exploration into the promoting role of benign mutual of health investment and economic development. through the analysis the status of health investment in our country, draw some very strong operational conclusions and recommendations.Health is a basic human rights and there is no need to emphasize its significance. The extent of health care determine the health of the public and therefore the development of the economy. On the contrary, the development of health carries weight on health. Foreign investment on health research mainly from the start of the relationship between investments in health and human capital formation and economic development. It is very similar to the dispute that the production of non-productive expenditure and investments impact on economic growth in Economic research. Health investment, in particular, the role and impact of government's investment in public health to economic development, samely academic has not formed a unified consensus. China's academic in the research investment of health problem, grow after the beginning of SARS. But they are concentrated on the surface problem , such as country should increase its investment in the public health. Chinese scholars have single research methods, focus on discussion of the relevant theory more. Since the founding of our country, especially since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Party, Central Committee and State Council have formulated a series of health development that is conducive to economic policy, increased health investment, strengthened health infrastructure, improved the hygiene conditions of service, so that the level of people's health and quality of life has been greatly enhanced. Increasing investment in health vigorously supported the construction of China's medical and health institutions, which laid the foundation for basic health for the services side, Made an important contribution to improving the health level of the people.For the moment, the effect health on the economic development is underestimated. The government count the public health care investment as a welfare instead of human resources investment. The reform hasn't try to rectify the imbalance of resource distribution. There is a big gap between different public considering the health care and health level. Because of our country has not yet carried out medical and health system reform in depth, traditional system is still to play a major role, the structure and distribution of health investment is very uneven between inter-regional, inter-urban and rural areas and ownership. The main public health investment, the Government has lack of existence and the overrun questions at the same time. Low efficiency of health investment, co-exist with the shortage of waste. The public nature of health care products has resulted in serious Policy differences. Health department can not run in accordance with the rules of market economy. Can not be completely stripped out of the market forces, either, which created a situation of market failure. In addition, because of unreasonable health investment health care subsidies have in fact made a disproportionately large amount of supply of the rich.Getting apocalypse from the empirical study on the relationship between the public health care investment and the economic development, we should think over the impact of public health care policy on the economic development from the point of view of Macroecono-mics so as to invest right to reply the urgency. We should ensure that the economy develops smoothly. Countries should pay more attention to public health investment, since public health is the key to sustainable development. Should strengthen the role of government-led, Improve the effectiveness of government health policy, determine for the fair financing program, implement the health investment objectives efficiently. TO clear the responsibilities of individual citizens and government in the investment in health and hygiene in order to determine their location in the maintenance of health, investment in health, enhance national and human capital quality. This is particularly important for the government, because only clear the duty that government investment in public health, can targete to develop practical public health policies. To increase the health input of vulnerable groups, to narrow the gap of health and medical care because of the uneven distribution, achieve the balanced of fairness and efficiency. Income levels are an important factor in the use of the impact of health care services. Disease in turn would affect the person's employment and the ability to work, cause a reduction in the level of their income, part of the population, highlight the phenomenon of returning to poverty-stricken due to disease. Making the poor more healthier is not only our target but also a factor to promote the economic development. Government should change the concept, increase investment in health systems, strengthen multi-sectoral cooperation, improve the social security, improve the fairness of health of the people. To give enough strength to support the social security fund setting up; Effectively promote the development of hygiene and to improve the health of the people by macroeconomic policies. To make our countri's reform of the social security system into a virtuous circle as soon as possible.More investment on health care is of great necessity. It was proposed that more investment should be put into the systems which can improve the health out come, accelerate economic development, keep the world peace, strengthening of global security and promote the development of an advanced and civilized society. It can not only improve the level of public health services but also promote economic growth and improve the standard of living of the people. Increase public health investment on one hand promote economic growth by increasing employment opportunities,on the other hand, it create a good environment for investment, improve the welfare level of the people, which ensure the healthy development of society. We should have a clear understanding and are supposed to put it into practice.
