CCTV News (news broadcast): People’s health is an important symbol of socialist modernization. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has adhered to the people-centered development thought, put people’s health in a strategic position of giving priority to development, continuously deepened the reform of the medical and health system, and constantly improved the health and wellness system. China’s health and wellness undertakings have moved from "treating diseases as the center" to "taking people’s health as the center", striving to ensure people’s health in an all-round and full-cycle way.
In the Chronic Disease Management Center of Shaxian District General Hospital in Sanming City, Fujian Province, the system is dynamically analyzing and evaluating the health data of hundreds of thousands of residents in the whole district, and carrying out differentiated management according to the condition. Hong Zhengu, a villager in Shankou Village, Gao Qiao Town, was included in the management of chronic diseases three years ago. Due to the unstable blood pressure, Hong Zhengu became the key management object of rural doctors after the system warning. In addition to visiting doctors, he also prescribed diet and exercise.
At present, general hospitals have been established in 11 districts and counties in Sanming, and such chronic disease management centers have been set up to manage and monitor the health of residents, and a health security system for everyone is being built. From the bottom of the medical insurance fund to the accumulated balance of more than 2 billion yuan, in the past ten years, Sanming medical reform refers to the "chronic disease" of the medical system in which the prices of drugs and consumables are artificially high and the medical insurance fund is wasted. By getting rid of the water of raising prices with drugs and squeezing out the price increase, the expenditure on drugs and consumables has been reduced by more than 15.8 billion yuan in ten years. At the same time, the income distribution system of hospitals and doctors has been reformed, the price of medical services has been raised, and the sunshine income of medical staff has been increased.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has always placed people’s health in a strategic position of giving priority to development. In March 2021, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to the Shaxian General Hospital of Sanming City to learn about the situation of medical reform and benefiting the people. At that time, in the outpatient hall, Weng Hua, a teacher in Shaxian District, showed the General Secretary his medical insurance account, with a balance of more than 10,000 yuan.
Without national health, there will be no overall well-off society. At the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core made a major decision to "promote the construction of a healthy China", and at the first national health and wellness conference, the national health and wellness work policy in the new era was defined as "changing the focus on treating diseases into the focus on people’s health". From the release of "Healthy China 2030" Planning Outline to the comprehensive deployment of "Implementing Healthy China Strategy" in the report of the 19th National Congress, the top-level design, overall strategy and implementation path of healthy China construction have been continuously clarified.
This decade is a decade in which the reform of China’s medical and health system has continued to deepen and the problem of difficult and expensive medical treatment for the people has been accelerated. Historically, China has completely broken the system of supplementing medicine with medicine, and has continuously promoted the transformation from "taking treatment as the center" to "taking people’s health as the center".
The problem of people’s difficulty in seeing a doctor has been effectively alleviated. The three-tier network of medical and health services covering urban and rural areas has been continuously improved, and 90% families can reach the nearest medical point within 15 minutes.
The problem of expensive medical treatment for the masses has been alleviated. The national list of essential drugs has increased to 685 varieties. The number of people participating in basic medical insurance exceeded 1.36 billion, and the proportion of residents’ personal health expenditure to total health expenditure fell to 27.7%, the lowest level in 20 years.
