BEIJING, April 12 (Xinhua) -- China will arrange closer partnerships between top-tier hospitals and grassroots medical services to provide health management and health care services for urban and rural residents alike in a more inclusive and coherent manner.
A set of new measures were approved during the State Council's executive meeting on Wednesday, presided over by Chinese Premier Li Keqiang.
"The goal for medical partnerships is to make quality medical care more accessible to the wider public, especially in less-developed areas," Li said.
"We've managed to achieve nation-wide medical insurance coverage and improved medical competence in grassroots medical institutions. The coverage is among the highest in the world. What we mostly need now are medical professionals," Li pointed out.
While people are demanding more and better health care with higher personal incomes, the country's current allocation in medical resources faces a tough balancing act.
The idea of building partnerships across medical institutions covering different levels aims to bridge the gap of resources.
Figures from the National Health and Family Planning Commission showed that by 2016, medical institutions partnerships have been established in 205 cities across the country.
"Currently, high quality medical resources are mostly in big cities. These should further trickle down to lower tiers so that wider demand will be met," Li said, adding that the governments must encourage joint partnerships of city-level public hospitals and grassroots institutions while imposing expenses reimbursement.
