Deputy Director of National Development and Reform Commission Says China Has the World's Largest Umbrella

Zhu Zhixin stated that China’s medical reform has woven up the world’s largest umbrella for medical insurance. “Ten years ago, only 94.01 million employees of state-owned enterprises were able to stand under this umbrella in China; in 2003, farmers came in and there was difficulty in urban and rural areas. The group came in. In 2007, old people, children, and college students who didn't work in the cities all entered. Now, basic medical insurance has covered more than 95% of the country's population and it has become the world's largest medical insurance network."

However, some people, especially those at the grassroots level, feel that it is still not obvious, and the remission of conflicts between doctors and patients is not very obvious.

“I think the main reasons are two aspects. First, it is still more difficult and expensive for major hospitals in cities, especially in cities. Second, our medical insurance level is still relatively low and the growing health care needs of the people are still a certain degree. Gap." Zhu Zhixin said. The next step in medical reform must focus on solving these problems, focusing on promoting three aspects of reform, improving the health insurance system for all people, consolidating and improving the basic medicine system, and actively promoting the reform of public hospitals. In particular, reform of public hospitals should focus on county-level hospitals to enhance service capabilities and Implement comprehensive reforms in management and operation, and strive to enable 90% of people to get medical treatment in the county.

“The tertiary medical network has been established, but the doctors still need to wait in line, and we have a large amount of medical treatment. The main reason is that the allocation is irrational and the people are still difficult to see.” President of the Hospital Management Association of the Chinese Hospital Association, Ministry of Health Medical Reform The former Director of the Division, Yu Zonghe, told the reporter of the "First Financial Daily".

Yu Zonghe said that after the elimination of drug additions, the price of drugs has dropped, but the inspection fees have gone up. “As long as the hospital is called itself to develop itself, the hospital will have to generate income. Otherwise, it cannot survive. The other costs will go up."

At present, there are more than 600 county-level hospitals in the country that are making intensive efforts to carry out medical reform trials to eliminate the key contradiction of medicine supplementing medicine and implement measures to facilitate the general population, reduce the cost burden on people's medical care, and facilitate the people's medical treatment.

Yu Zonghe said: "Although the construction of basic medical institutions has now been completed, the service capacity has not kept pace. The expansion of medical insurance coverage is an achievement, but the level is not very high."

It is precisely because the level of basic medical services still has a certain gap with the demand. The group that seeks medical treatment is still flocking to large hospitals, and the pressure of doctors in large hospitals is also increasing. “So far, the work intensity of Chinese doctors has been very strong. It's hard to dig again," Liao Xinbo, deputy director of the Guangdong Health Department, told reporters.

The result of this phenomenon has aggravated the conflict between doctors and patients. Zhu Zhixin stated that in order to resolve the contradiction between doctors and patients, it is necessary to first strengthen the communication between doctors and patients, and create a good habit of respecting and reassuring doctors throughout society. Second, it is necessary to popularize health knowledge and allow the masses to treat the disease rationally. The third is to strengthen the propaganda of the legal system and earnestly safeguard the interests of medical staff and patients. Finally, it is necessary to punish the law in violation of the lawful rights and interests of patients, the personal safety of medical personnel and the violation of the property of medical institutions.
