CCTV News Client News: In recent years, China has made overall progress in the construction of a population service system that covers the entire life cycle, with a focus on "one elderly and one small". This has made the lives of the general public more convenient, gradually improving the quality of life, and promoting high-quality population development.
Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission issued a central budget investment of 26.55 billion yuan to support the construction of 241 national and provincial-level regional medical centers and other projects, allowing more patients to enjoy fair, accessible, and systematic high-quality medical and health services nearby. At the National Regional Medical Center and Beijing Children's Hospital Baoding Hospital, a reporter saw that 12-year-old Lele was undergoing follow-up evaluation after stem cell transplantation. Recalling his previous visit to Beijing for medical treatment, his father was very emotional.
At present, the number of national regional medical center project hospitals has reached 76, and a large number of complex surgeries and medical services that were originally only carried out in a few large cities have achieved cross provincial "translation". In 2022, the number of patients seeking medical treatment outside the province from various project hospitals decreased by 30.6% compared to 2021.
At present, 429 city and prefecture level administrative regions in China have completed the overall solution formulation for "one elderly and one small", with 381000 various elderly care institutions and facilities, 8.223 million beds, and 2.5 childcare units per thousand population. According to data from the Ministry of Finance, in recent years, China's investment in ensuring and improving people's livelihoods has been increasing year by year. From January to April this year, expenditures on education, health, social security, and employment increased by 6.9%, 8.7%, and 10.3% year-on-year, respectively. Efforts have been made to fill the gaps in the field of people's livelihoods, improve service capabilities, and continuously promote high-quality population development.
