PREMIER Li Keqiang visited earthquake survivors in hospital yesterday.
Li went to the West China Hospital, a leading facility in Chengdu which has taken in a number of seriously-injured patients transferred from the worst-hit areas.
Before heading to the hospital, Li had been in Lushan County, the epicenter of the 7.0-magnitude earthquake, since Saturday afternoon, giving instructions in the rescue and relief work.
Among the patients he visited was Yue Anhong, who was buried under rubble and seriously injured.
"Be relaxed and relieved. Doctors here will make their utmost efforts to help you recover as soon as possible," Li told her.
Yang Shangming, who was in a stable condition after receiving medical treatment, had been worrying about the cost of his treatment.
Li reassured him the government would cover the medical fees for those who were seriously injured in the earthquake, so as to guarantee meticulous treatment for them.
The central government yesterday earmarked 1 billion yuan (US$160 million) for disaster relief efforts.
The fund will be used for rescue and relief work, the relocation of people affected by the quake, medical treatment, subsidies for victims' families, as well as to repair damaged public facilities.
Doctors told Li that eight-year-old boy Zhang Ke had been seriously traumatized by the quake.
Li asked the hospital to arrange psychological treatment for the seriously injured, especially minors.
Several medical teams, by air and on foot, have entered Baoxing County, an area that had lost communication with areas outside it. Some injured survivors have been rescued and taken out of the county.
