MINHANG District today announced to become the first district in the city to carry out health service reform that allows patients to receive a more convenient and efficient service within a mechanism consisting one city-level hospital, one district-level hospital and a neighborhood health center.

So far, four city-level hospitals in the district have been included into the system.

While patients also can visit other hospitals not in the system, health officials said.

After signing a service agreement, patients can be transferred more quickly within different levels of hospitals within the system concerning with their disease development and patients can receive cheaper service if visiting these hospitals. Patients can have better access to experts in superior hospitals if they go to neighborhood health centers for the first visit.

"The health reform is a good trial of the city in order to guide patients to visit neighborhood health centers for small and chronic diseases, as many patients go all the way to big hospitals for any disease causing a waste of medical resources," said Shen Xiaochu, director of Shanghai Health and Family Planning Commission. "We will promote the reform after trials in certain districts."
