Health care plan calls for earlier diagnoses
Print Edition
A HEALTH care plan which highlights the need to identify diseases earlier has been released by the State Council.
It will complement efforts to increase China’s average life expectancy by one year to over 77 by 2020.
The plan for the 2016-2020 period calls for measures to assist the earlier detection of serious diseases including strokes and cancers, as well as better treatment for conditions such as hypertension and diabetes among people with high blood pressure, blood glucose, blood fat or obesity.
To address the current shortage of nurses, the government will launch training programs so there will be 3.14 nurses per 1,000 people by 2020. This translates to 4.45 million nurses across the country.
An additional 89,000 hospital beds, and 140,000 obstetricians and midwives will be added to cope with rising demand since China allowed all couples to have two children.
As 16.1 percent of China’s population were 60 or over in 2015, the plan also discussed how to help the elderly with various methods, including traditional medicine, exercise and diet.
The government also aims to ensure that more than 70 percent of residents aged 65 and over have access to health management services by 2020.
