The country now has a basic medical care network for 1.3 billion people thanks to years of efforts, in addition to rural and community health care institutions that make access to medical treatment easier.
Currently, the average life expectancy in China is 76.3 years old. The maternal mortality rate has dropped to 20.1 per 100,000, and the infant mortality rate has decreased to 8.1 per 1,000.
This means China's averages beat many middle- and high-income countries, said the premier.
According to the "Healthy China 2030" blueprint, China wants to increase its citizens' average life expectancy to 77.3 by 2020 and 79 by 2030.
"We will forge ahead with the next stage of reform with greater courage and wisdom," he said.
He said changes will be seen across public hospitals, with many administrative barriers broken and better cooperation among hospitals of all levels and types.
China will improve the medical insurance system to cover the whole population, reform the medicine supply system and better motivate medical staff, the premier said.
He also pledged that China will continue to put health and medical care as the priority of development, provide preferential policies and ensure the financial support for health protection.
At the conference, a declaration on promoting health in the sustainable development was published, calling on governments around the world to promise to include the health promotion into their development agenda.
