BEIJING, Dec. 26 -- Chinese lawmakers have called for all-round efforts to improve health care.
During panel discussions on Tuesday afternoon, legislators discussed a draft law on basic medical and health care submitted to the ongoing bi-monthly session of the National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee for first review.
Despite their overall support for the draft, many focused on health care, which has not been good enough for some.
"The State Council last year suggested the focus of medical and health care work switch from treatment to health," said Wang Longde, member of the standing committee, who referred to a guideline released by China's cabinet last December.
"However, some departments have taken little action during the year," he continued. "The major responsibilities of each department should be written into the law."
Chen Zhu, vice chairman of the NPC Standing Committee agreed, asking for clarification of the duties of departments including taxation, education, agriculture and others, so that they can work together to ensure the people's health.
For instance, agricultural departments should take responsibility for preventing diseases of animals from infecting humans, as cases including SARS and bird flu were all lessons, Wang added.
Some suggested schools play a bigger part.
"Exams serve as an important 'baton' for students," said Zhou Qifeng, another member of the standing committee. "Knowledge of health care should be included in exams."
