First, the establishment of a basic medical and health system is an inherent requirement for building a well-off society in an all-round way and promoting social harmony. Health is the foundation of people's all-round development, which is related to the happiness of thousands of families. Since the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening up, China's health undertakings have made remarkable achievements, basically formed a public health and medical and health service system, and the national health situation has been continuously improved. In recent years, the party and the state have paid more attention to the health of the whole people, increased investment in health undertakings, adjusted the structure of medical and health resources, made good progress in urban community health services, gradually implemented the new rural cooperative medical system, improved medical and health conditions in rural areas, made smooth progress in the prevention and treatment of major diseases, and strengthened maternal and child health care and health supervision. At present, the average life expectancy in China is close to 73 years, which is at the leading level among developing China countries. However, the medical and health services in China have not yet adapted to the growing health needs of the people. Therefore, establishing a basic medical and health system covering urban and rural residents and alleviating and overcoming the above contradictions as soon as possible is the key link to improve people's livelihood and let people enjoy the fruits of reform and development, the concrete embodiment of our party's purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, and the inherent requirement of building a well-off society in an all-round way and building a harmonious socialist society.
Second, establish a basic medical and health system, with the goal of making everyone enjoy basic medical and health services. According to the general requirements of this goal in the report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we must take the road of medical and health reform and development with China characteristics, establish a basic medical and health system in line with the national conditions, start with the basic framework, develop to a more comprehensive level, and gradually cover all urban and rural residents from insufficient coverage. In order to establish this system, we must grasp two persistences. First, it is necessary to "adhere to the public welfare nature of public health care", follow the purpose of medical and health services serving people's health, strengthen the government's responsibility to provide basic medical and health services, improve the national health policy, increase government health investment, and provide safe, effective, convenient and cheap medical and health services for the people from the perspective of facilitating timely medical treatment, safe medication and reasonable burden. Second, adhere to the policy of "giving priority to prevention, focusing on rural areas, and paying equal attention to both Chinese and western medicine" and provide comprehensive public health and preventive health care services under the leadership of the government; Focus on strengthening the construction of rural medical and health institutions and teams, and strive to solve the problem of lack of medicine and medicine in some rural areas; Support the development of traditional Chinese medicine and ethnic medicine, promote the integration of traditional Chinese and western medicine, and strive to narrow the gap in medical and health services between urban and rural areas, regions and people with different incomes.
Third, the key to establishing the basic medical and health system is to deepen the reform of the medical and health system and form a relatively perfect service guarantee system. The framework of China's basic medical and health system consists of public health service system, medical service system, medical security system and drug supply security system. Among them, the focus of public health service system construction is to improve the disease prevention and control, health education, maternal and child health care, planned immunization and family planning technical service network, especially to improve the prevention and control system of major diseases and improve the emergency handling capacity of public health emergencies; To build a medical service system, the key point is to strengthen the construction of rural three-level health service network and urban community health service system, to separate government affairs, management and administration, medicine, for-profit and non-profit, to deepen the reform of public hospitals, and to encourage social participation and establishment of medical institutions; To build a medical security system, the key points are to improve the basic medical insurance for urban workers and residents, the new rural cooperative medical system and urban and rural medical assistance, to develop commercial health insurance as a supplement to charity, and to guide the masses to seek medical treatment reasonably; To build a drug supply security system, the key point is to establish a national essential drug system, and implement fixed-point production, centralized procurement and unified distribution of national essential drugs, so as to ensure the people's basic drugs and greatly reduce the burden of drug expenses. In order to ensure the effective and standardized operation of the four systems, it is necessary to deepen the reform of the medical and health management system, the operating mechanism of public medical institutions, the funding mechanism, the formation mechanism of medical services and medical prices, and the supervision system, improve the conditions such as talent team, information system and legal system, and gradually realize the equalization of basic medical and health services through institutionalized construction. Actively promote the coordinated development of medical and health undertakings and economic and social construction, and constantly improve the health level of the whole people.
