Tuesday.
It was a little after nine in the morning!
Inside the Minister's office of the Ministry of Health.
Jiang Kangwen flipped through the draft of the medical reform proposal submitted by Su Zhengnan, and a look of shock appeared on his face.
He was completely shocked by the suggestions written by Su Zhengnan!
Recommendation 1: Implement free basic medical care for all citizens, improve the health system, and promote the coordinated development and governance of medical care, medical insurance, and pharmaceuticals.
Recommendation 2: Promote the expansion and downward flow of high-quality medical resources and their balanced regional distribution; accelerate the construction of a hierarchical medical system; advance the construction of closely integrated medical alliances; and strengthen primary healthcare services.
Recommendation 3: Deepen the reform of public hospitals with a public welfare orientation, establish a fee mechanism based on medical services, and improve the salary system.
Recommendation 4: Guide and regulate the development of private hospitals, improve support for the development of innovative drugs and medical devices, and enhance the inheritance and innovative development of traditional Chinese medicine.
Recommendation Five: ......
Su Zhengnan is very aware of the drawbacks of medical insurance and knows what the situation will be like for medical insurance in the next few decades.
Therefore, he directly suggested abolishing the so-called insurance for basic medical care and replacing it with free basic medical care for all citizens.
It should be understood that with the future annual investment of trillions of yuan in medical insurance, it is entirely possible to achieve free basic medical care and provide medical security for critical illnesses.
This form may be far more cost-effective than regular health insurance.
Of course, under the premise of implementing this medical system, it is also necessary to guarantee the salaries of medical workers so that they can work without any worries.
Therefore, Su Zhengnan also proposed a system to improve the salaries of medical staff.
Upon seeing these suggestions, Jiang Kangwen was first shocked, then fell into deep thought.
The suggestions written by Su Zhengnan were simply too advanced, and universal basic free medical care was not something that he, as the Minister of Health, could decide on his own. The amount of money and interests involved was too great for him to handle.
After pondering for a long time.
Jiang Kangwen couldn't help but sigh softly, then looked up at Su Zhengnan and said:
"Your suggestions are all quite good, but there are a few that I can't make the decision on. How about this, I'll keep these suggestions for now and ask my superiors for their opinion before making a decision."
Su Zhengnan turned his head and exchanged a glance with Wang Xianyao beside him, nodded without saying anything, and did whatever the other party said.
He's just here to offer suggestions, not to make decisions.
Then, Jiang Kangwen smiled and said:
"But then again, young people are really good at thinking. Xiao Su, the medical reform suggestions you came up with are absolutely in line with our current national conditions."
"Alright, stay for lunch and have some together. Old Wang, come along too."
"Okay, thank you, Minister Jiang."
Su Zhengnan and Wang Xianyao thanked each other in unison, and then quickly returned to Wang Xianyao's office to wait.
Wang Xianyao smiled and had his assistant pour Su Zhengnan a cup of tea, saying, "Little Su, actually, the proposal you wrote is quite good. I believe Minister Jiang will definitely take it seriously."
"Hmm, I hope so!"
Su Zhengnan smiled modestly.
As for how many suggestions will ultimately be adopted by the higher-ups, we'll only know after Minister Jiang reports to them.
Su Zhengnan chatted with Wang Xianyao for a while with a smile, and the topic gradually turned to the development of traditional Chinese medicine.
Speaking of which, Mr. Wang does have some insights in this regard.
After all, he had served as an advisor to the medical reform group for so long, and had seen a lot of medical problems across the country, whether from Western or traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, and he was well aware of the situation at the grassroots level.
To be honest, traditional Chinese medicine is facing great difficulties in developing at the grassroots level, while Western medicine is doing better in this regard.
Therefore, if we want to develop traditional Chinese medicine, grassroots TCM medical care is a major problem.
Su Zhengnan and Wang Xianyao chatted idly, and more than two hours passed quickly.
.............
noon.
Everyone in the General Office of the Ministry of Health has gone home.
Su Zhengnan and Wang Xianyao went to a hotel outside and had lunch with Minister Jiang and others. Su also introduced the other members of the medical reform team to Wang.
The members of this healthcare reform team are naturally not all from the Ministry of Health.
After all, healthcare reform involves a very wide range of issues.
Therefore, the members of the medical reform group include people from the State Council, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, as well as the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and others.
Minister Jiang is only the head of the Ministry of Health's leading group, mainly responsible for the group's daily work, including researching and proposing guidelines and measures for medical and health reform, and supervising their implementation.
Seeing so many big shots sitting together for a meal, Su Zhengnan knew that this meal was definitely not for him.
Minister Jiang inviting him to stay for dinner was just a side benefit.
Fortunately, Su Zhengnan was Master Gu's apprentice, so he wasn't exactly an unknown figure.
In addition, she had a special ability to help her, so she didn't feel any psychological burden in this situation and sat down with Wang Xianyao with a smile.
Although Su Zhengnan felt a little hungry after the meal, he did get to know quite a few people.
And they are all real big shots.
By the time we finished lunch, it was almost 3 p.m.
The meal lasted for more than two hours before it ended.
Su Zhengnan followed closely behind Old Wang, wisely keeping quiet.
Only after Minister Jiang saw off the other members of the medical reform team did Su Zhengnan smile and step forward to say goodbye to Minister Jiang.
"Okay, then you can go back now!"
Minister Jiang smiled and waved to Su Zhengnan, saying, "We will report your suggestions to our superiors and then hold a serious meeting to discuss them. I believe we will have results soon."
"Okay, I understand, thank you, Minister Jiang."
Su Zhengnan smiled and nodded in agreement, then turned and left the General Office of the Ministry of Health.
Stepping out of the Ministry of Health's office, Su Zhengnan couldn't help but sigh. Eating and talking with these powerful people was a bit stressful.
They all seemed to exude an air of official authority.
Su Zhengnan felt that he couldn't completely relax when chatting with them; he had to carefully consider what he should and shouldn't say.
It's also possible that he wasn't familiar with these people!
