Zhang Mao: Health reform should clearly define the direction of the major three major forces and speed up the reform work

In 2012, the training class for the director of the new municipal health bureau in the country opened in Beijing on August 13. Zhang Mao, secretary of the Party Group and Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Health, pointed out at the opening ceremony that the next step is to clearly define the three main directions of medical insurance, standard medicine, and innovative medical care, and accelerate the “12th Five-Year Plan” medical reform work.

Zhang Mao said that over the past three years since the implementation of medical reform, the reform consensus of the entire society has been further expanded and the reforms have become more confident. This has created a good situation in which the party and the government have won the hearts of the people, the people have received benefits, medical personnel have been encouraged, and the health industry has developed.

Zhang Mao said that in terms of perfecting medical insurance, it is necessary to accelerate the reform of the new rural cooperative medical system and realize the transition from expanding the scope to improving quality. In terms of standardizing medicine, it is necessary to improve the basic medicine system and the new mechanism for grassroots operations, and to promote grass-roots organizations to promote all-round development. In terms of innovative medical care, it is necessary to vigorously promote the reform of county-level public hospitals. At the same time, we must make overall plans to improve the equalization of basic public health services, optimize the distribution of medical resources, vigorously develop non-public medical institutions, innovate the system for the cultivation and use of health personnel, accelerate reforms in the field of pharmaceutical production and circulation, and further advance informationization.
