BEIJING, July 22 - Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao on early Saturday morning
visited a community medical service center to see how the basic medicare
for urban residents worked.
"It's weekend today. I plan to do a fieldwork research (about medicare),"
said the premier at the beginning of a symposium attended by workers,
officials and residents in a Beijing residential area.
Wen's questions include how many people in the community could enjoy
medicare, whether residents could see doctors in the community, whether
doctors of big hospitals could help with community medical services, and
the piloting of the medicare system for urban residents.
The capital initiated a mechanism of basic medicare. Under the mechanism
to promote community medical services in the city, large hospitals must
support community health centers with facilities and manpower, and a
"medical unity platform" for data-sharing was set up.
Wen said that establishing medicare and community medical services, a big
part of the country's medical reform, was an arduous task that needs
participation of the public.
"The medical system, medicare and purchase and sale of drugs should be
planned as a whole," said the premier, adding different regions can have
different paths in line with the actual conditions.
In a medicare service center, the premier asked whether 77-year-old Ma
Yingjie, not covered by medicare yet, wanted to joined the medicare
against major illness.
"Sure. My nephew can help me submit the 300 yuan premium, and the
government will chip in another 1,100 yuan for me, with which I don't
need to worry about seeing doctors in the future," said Ma, referring to
the pilot medicare program for the elderly and children which is being
promoted across the country this year.
"We are doing it at the very beginning and must gradually improve it,"
said the premier, adding the elderly and children should enjoy special
care of the society.
