“Healthy China”
In a proposal toimplementthe13th Five-year Plan for Economic and Social Development adoptedat its fifth plenary session in October 2015,the 18th National Congress of the CPC defined new goals towards building a healthy China. Promoting Health is crucial to human development, and provides a basis for economic and social development. Improvement in healthcare represents an important success story in our efforts to build a stronger nation and achieve greater prosperity. It is also a shared expectation of the public. Without universal access to healthcare, there can be no prosperity for all.
In October 2016, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council jointly issued an outline for the “Healthy China 2030” initiative. The document emphasizes a participatory approach to improving China’s healthcare and the fundamental goal of proving universal access to healthcare. The initiative aims to achieve the following by 2030:
–a continued improvement in public health;
–a substantial improvement in healthcare services;
–a significant expansion of the healthcare industry; and
–the establishment of a sound health promotion system.
In essence, the initiative seeks to promote the people’s physical, social and economic wellbeing, as well as a healthy environment, not simply improving physical health. It places front and center the people’s right to health, emphasizing the importance of prevention and a healthy lifestyle, together with efforts to create an eco-friendly, safe and healthy environment to reduce the incidence of diseases.
It is important in this regard to change the way healthcare services are provided and improve these services, putting more emphasis on early diagnosis, treatment and recovery. It is also essential to ensure basic health coverage, strengthen community-level medical services, and build necessary mechanisms to better address the health needs of the general public. A participatory approach is indispensable to universal access to healthcare. Special efforts should be launched under the guidance of the government and with public participation to better assist vulnerable groups such as women and children, older people, people with disabilities,transient population, and low-income groups.
Implementation will be stronger, with increased government funding and in tandem with expanded institutional reform. Other measures include promoting health-related human resource development and technological innovation, building a health information service system, promoting rule-based practices in the health industry, and expanding international cooperation on health issues.
