The total scale of health service industry promoted by the State Council's policies will exceed 8 trillion yuan

Premier Li Keqiang chaired the executive meeting of the State Council on the 28th to study and deploy measures to promote the development of the health service industry The meeting stressed that on the basis of ensuring the people's basic medical and health service needs, we should fully mobilize social forces and accelerate the development of health service industry with rich contents and various levels The meeting pointed out that to promote the development of health service industry, the key is to increase supply, ensure quality and rely on reform and innovation Health service industry, including many fields such as medical care, rehabilitation and health care, is an important content and weak link of modern service industry Since the launch of a new round of medical reform in 2009, China's health service industry has made great progress and formed an industrial chain covering drugs, medical devices and health care products But at the same time, we should also see that, with the continuous release of the public demand for health services, China's health service industry is still in its infancy, some areas of the market opening degree is low, the regulatory mechanism is not perfect, the lack of supply and waste of resources coexist Data shows that at present, China's health service industry only accounts for about 5% of GDP, while the United States reached 17.6% in 2009 This shows that on the basis of ensuring the basic medical and health needs, the people are eagerly looking forward to diversified health service supply, and the development of China's health service industry has great potential According to the calculation of authoritative departments, the total scale of China's health service industry will reach more than 8 trillion yuan by 2020, which will undoubtedly become a major good for further accelerating the development of the industry At this time, the central government studies and deploys the further development of the health service industry, which shows the decision-makers' determination to protect and benefit the people's livelihood At the same time, it also provides an important way to effectively expand domestic demand, adjust the industrial structure and accelerate the development of the service industry The executive meeting of the State Council pointed out that on the basis of strengthening the government's responsibility and ensuring the demand for basic medical and health services, we should vigorously introduce social capital, focus on increasing supply, take ensuring quality as the core, rely on reform and innovation, and strive to develop the health service industry as an important starting point for promoting economic transformation and upgrading The executive meeting of the State Council defined four main tasks for the development of the health service industry First, we should take multiple measures to develop the health service industry Relax market access, encourage social capital and overseas capital to invest in health service industry in various forms according to laws and regulations, accelerate the implementation of the policy of equal treatment for social medical institutions in social security fixed point, specialty construction, professional title evaluation, grade evaluation, technical access, etc., so as to make social strength become the "strength" of health service industry We will coordinate the allocation of resources for urban and rural health services and regional health services to promote balanced development Second, we need to speed up the development of health care services for the elderly Strengthen medical and health support, establish and improve the referral and cooperation mechanism of medical institutions, nursing homes for the elderly, rehabilitation and other elderly care institutions Develop community and rural health care services for the aged Third, we should enrich commercial health insurance products We will support the development of commercial health insurance linked with basic medical insurance, encourage commercial insurance institutions to carry out medical insurance agency services through government purchase, and make the "health network" for the whole people stronger Fourth, we need to cultivate relevant supporting industries and accelerate the development of key industries such as medical treatment, drugs, instruments and traditional Chinese medicine Improve the ability of medical and health care services of traditional Chinese medicine We will strengthen the ranks of health service personnel, encourage social capital to establish vocational colleges, standardize and accelerate the training of nurses, nursing staff for the aged, rehabilitation therapists and other practitioners It is worth noting that the four objectives of the executive meeting of the State Council are to promote basic and non basic health services respectively, and take improving the health quality of the whole people as the fundamental starting point and foothold At the same time, further expand the service scope and mode of health service industry, encourage the development of new business forms, provide the guarantee of system and mechanism for the sustainable development of health service industry, effectively realize the balanced allocation of resources and the balanced development of different business forms, thus providing the guarantee for the needs of different levels of the people According to statistics, in 2012, the number of diagnosis and treatment in private hospitals in China was only 250 million, accounting for 9.8% of the total It is urgent to establish an open, transparent and equal access system, vigorously support and encourage the society to provide medical and health services, and gradually allow qualified foreign capital to set up wholly-owned medical institutions and other measures will improve the medical service capacity, make up for areas and regions that the government can not do well and can not do well, and form a diversified pattern of complementary advantages Although the health service industry in China is still in the primary stage of development, on the basis of deepening medical reform in the early stage, the health service industry has formed a wide and long industrial chain We have reason to believe that with the gradual improvement and promotion of various government measures, the industry will release a huge dividend, which can achieve a huge leap from the overall scale to the development model The executive meeting of the State Council pointed out the direction for the development of the health service industry Only through reform and innovation and extensive mobilization of social forces can we improve people's livelihood, further expand employment, promote the development of related industries on the basis of the existing industrial chain, and inject new forces into the adjustment of China's economic structure and the process of building a moderately prosperous society.
