【Pure water】Urban Private Hospitals Insure Rural Migrants
|
|
Every morning outside the Beijing Children's Hospital, parents from around the country join what seems to be a mile-long queue to see well-known pediatricians, although they may have to pay their full bills themselves. Meanwhile, patients in the reception room of Changfeng Hospital, a small private, non-profit hospital on the city outskirts, do not have to wait long to see a doctor. Another thing that is unusual about this hospital is that most of the patients there are from central China's Henan Province. Manager Dong Quanchang says his hospital only accepts insurance cards from Xinyang in Henan and the local government later reimburses the hospital. He says there are at least 300-thousand people from Xinyang living here in Beijing. China has two separate health insurance programs. One for city dwellers with Hukou or permanent resident permits which covers more than 400-million people; while the other covers more than 90 percent of the rural population. Manager Dong says his hospital is the first of its kind in Beijing which mainly targets migrant workers who are not covered by urban health insurance. Jin Dapeng, a member of the country's top political advisory body, says it's a growing trend for small private hospitals to take care of these people. But the former head of Beijing's health bureau says that private hospitals are far from meeting the demand. Deng Xiaohong, spokesperson of the municipal health bureau, says nearly half the hospitals in Beijing are privately owned. Most of them are small, and lack skilled medics, advanced facilities and patient recognition. Both health officials say the government is encouraging the development of private hospitals. Han Xiaohong, CEO of Ciming Checkup, a small, local private hospital, says the turnover-tax exemption on private hospitals saves her company a million U.S. dollars each year. It is not just about private hospitals. The central government plans to spend some 26 billion U.S. dollars on healthcare this year. That's 15 percent more than in 2010. Starting from this year, each Chinese citizen also receives an annual 200 yuan or 30 U.S. dollars in healthcare subsidies, 80 yuan more than previously. Vice Health Minister Wang Guoqiang, who is also a national advisor, suggests specifying life expectancy targets for local governments in an effort to advance the healthcare reform. Premier Wen Jiabao told the national congress earlier that he hopes to increase Chinese people's life expectancy by one year within the next five years. The average life expectancy of Chinese is 73 years. For CRI, I'm Su Yi. |
