Lin Sanqi thought of this, sighed, and could only shake his head speechlessly about the medical reform in a few decades.
Even if you want to learn advanced medical experience from abroad, you must learn it comprehensively.
Even in developed countries such as the United States, Europe, and Japan, normal medical order is supported by "family doctors" or "community doctors."
When a patient is sick, he or she must first see a "family doctor". Minor illnesses are treated in the clinic. Only when the clinic deems it necessary will the patient be eligible to be transferred to a large hospital.
This family doctor is actually a barefoot doctor.
However, the medical reform in our country has weakened the medical treatment functions of "community doctors" or "township hospitals" and instead expanded and strengthened large hospitals, resulting in a top-heavy situation.
There are 1.4 billion people in the country. Can your few big hospitals treat all of them?
How can healthcare be market-oriented? How can it be run as a business?
County Magistrate Jin had already thought about it in his mind by this time.
If we follow Lin Sanqi's approach, it will actually be beneficial to poor and agricultural counties like Andu County.
After all, establishing barefoot doctors in every village solves the medical difficulties faced by local people. This is a real good thing, and as a local official, he must strongly support it.
"Minister Lin, okay, I understand your thoughts. Whatever you decide, our county will fully cooperate."
Lin Sanqi thought this was a good idea. After all, he only had half a year for the pilot program, so he had to hurry up.
"County Magistrate Jin, you must immediately send a notice to all communes, requiring each village to send one young man. The requirement is that he be intelligent and literate. If the villagers are generally illiterate, then sending educated youth to the countryside will also be acceptable."
Then have them gather in the county town for training, and you can find a way to find a venue. As for the training fees, food and accommodation, they will all be free of charge and I will cover them. I will do the training."
After County Magistrate Jin wrote it down in his notebook, he immediately stood up:
"Okay, Minister Lin, I'll go back now and hold an emergency meeting tonight. I'll ensure that all the aspiring young people in the county are gathered to participate in this barefoot doctor training within a week."
When Lin Sanqi heard this, he quickly said:
"Wait, County Magistrate Jin, I, I want to try your local cuisine."
County Magistrate Jin wondered, what's wrong with this young minister? Why is he focusing on personal matters instead of official duties? Eating and drinking?
Andu County is so poor, can it afford to feed and drink more than ten people?
Seeing the conflicted look on the other person's face, Lin Sanqi knew what County Magistrate Jin was thinking and glanced at Secretary Li Yujie.
Li Yujie quickly stood up, patted his small suitcase and said:
"Don't worry, County Magistrate Jin. We'll pay for our own food and drinks. I have all the national food coupons here, but the meat coupons are local. But we have a large amount of foreign currency with us, so we can pay in US dollars or Hong Kong dollars."
When County Magistrate Jin heard this, he was immediately delighted:
"Do you have foreign exchange? That's great, that's fantastic. Lao Li, come in quickly. You'll be under Minister Lin's command in all your actions from now on. Whatever Minister Lin asks for, you will do your best to provide it.
Minister Lin, this Li Laosan is the office director. Just tell him what you need. He's more experienced than I am at reception and knows where to find good food and fun things to do. I'll be leaving first."
A middle-aged cadre came in from outside and bowed again when he saw Lin Sanqi.
"Commander, tell me what you need, and I promise to complete the task."
No matter how poor Andu County is, it is still a piece of cake to provide food and drink for more than a dozen people, not to mention that the other party has foreign exchange.
Even a poor county like Andu has the task of generating revenue. In this era, the chain of contempt is foreign exchange > tickets > cash.
Lin Sanqi knew that those who could become office directors these days were all very good at dealing with people, so he said with a smile:
"Director Li, I don't have any other requests. Tonight, please give me a portion of all the delicacies from Andu County, including lamb, fish, and so on."
Li Laosan stood at attention and said: "Yes, I will ensure that the task is completed and Minister Li will feel the enthusiasm of the people of Andu County.
I recommend the braised goat meat. It's made with freshly slaughtered local black goats, slow-cooked for two hours using only spring water and sand ginger. The broth is milky white, and the meat is so tender it falls apart with a single chopstick. Pair it with a secret dipping sauce made with lemon sauce and fermented bean curd for a double dose of sweetness!
Then, have a few charcoal-grilled lamb legs, brushed with honey and grilled until crispy, the gravy bursting with juices. Paired with our local wild mountain wine, the tannins are soft and the fruity aroma is explosive, it's so refreshing that you'll stomp your feet.
Lin Sanqi swallowed his saliva after hearing this.
He had been traveling by train for a week and only had a bowl of rice noodles for lunch. He was already starving.
"Okay, Director Li, your arrangement is great, I like it. There are 16 of us here, so please buy food based on the standard for two tables. Don't save money for me, and make sure you have the best ingredients."
Li Laosan smiled, but cursed in his heart, saying silently:
You bastard official, aren't you just feeding off the people's blood and sweat? The country's foreign exchange is so precious, are you just giving it to you to eat and drink like this?
I have to say that the three views of cadres these days are still very correct. They don't have the bad habit of eating and drinking, and they won't eat and drink for free by writing IOUs.
Even if the No. 2 leader goes to the local area, he will pay for the meal ticket and cash after the meal, and will never take advantage of the grassroots.
Lin Sanqi's extravagant spending and his open demand for good food and drink made the grassroots cadres very uncomfortable.
The problem is that Lin Sanqi's rank is too high, and they dare not speak out.
After everyone in the county left, Dean Shan looked at the deputy minister with a gloomy expression, and kept complaining in his heart.
But he still had a big question in his mind, so he asked:
"Minister Lin, there's one thing I don't understand. Right now, the entire country is in a state of shortage of medical care and medicine. When I'm on a business trip, only the provincial capital's hospitals are more fully equipped. Even in Hechi, there are only two hospitals.
"I think we should focus on running urban hospitals first, right? Why is the ministry suddenly trying to fully promote barefoot doctors? And instead of strengthening rural healthcare?"
Lin Sanqi sighed and hinted:
“Dean Shan, there are some things you may not understand at the local level, but you will understand them in the future.
It is useless to build more hospitals in the city. By the time these hospitals are built, the wind will blow. Not only will the doctors and nurses not have the energy to treat patients, I am afraid that these hospital buildings will be requisitioned and smashed to pieces.
Therefore, it is better to develop rural medical care honestly. In rural areas, everyone is a fellow villager, and it is relatively stable, protected from the wind and rain. This is the most practical and safest way.
And if my estimation is correct, in a few years, a large number of doctors from large urban hospitals will go to the countryside to work, ahem, to work in rural areas without any salary.
These commune health centers and village clinics are the best place for them. First, they can use their superb medical skills to serve the people, and second, they can have a place to settle down, which is better than living in a shed.
After Lin Sanqi finished speaking, he thought to himself that he was such a saint, considering so much about his colleagues across the country.
Dean Shan blinked his presbyopic eyes, not understanding the Deputy Minister's meaning at all. What did he mean by "windy"? What kind of wind was it?
Only Lin Sanqi himself knew that he didn't have much time left and he had to plan many things in advance.
Apart from anything else, at least all the famous Chinese medicine practitioners in the country should be concentrated in Bao'an County to help them weather the storm, so that traditional Chinese medicine will not be extinct and scammers will not be able to prevail.
At night, in the courtyard of the county guesthouse.
The person in charge of the guesthouse called all the actors from the county art troupe to perform the traditional Yao dance - the yellow mud drum dance - in the yard.
Lin Sanqi sat in the main seat, filming videos, occasionally grabbing the roasted goat meat that had been cut on the plate next to him, and spent a wonderful night.
Of course, Vice Minister Lin is not the kind of corrupt official who oppresses the grassroots.
In addition to paying for tonight's meals as usual, he also gave each performer in the art troupe a fee of 20 yuan, which caused an uproar throughout the troupe.
For this poor little county, 20 yuan in cash is enough to live comfortably for a month, which is definitely a huge sum of money.
Before going to bed, Wang Jin came over to report:
"Boss, I've already contacted our village and can go there tomorrow."
Lin Sanqi was a little drunk. This mountain rice wine tasted sweet, and the wind made him drunk:
"Okay, you make the arrangements. We'll set off early tomorrow morning." (End of this chapter)
