Since the beginning of this year, Qingzhen city in Guiyang, Southwest China's Guizhou province, has been trying to create the 15-minute medical service circle, in order to enhance people's sense of gain, happiness and security.
Several measures facilitate the achievement of this goal, including formulating a slew of policy documents, cultivating grassroots medical staff members, consolidating healthcare results in poverty alleviation, renovating local clinics, and rolling out a set of vaccination services to the public.
There are a total of three municipal medical institutions, nine town medical institutes, four community medical centers, and 254 village clinics in Qingzhen, and the majority of villagers can now visit doctors without having to travel long distances.
Documents released in the city include proposals on regulating village clinics and rural doctors and on advancing grassroots healthcare reforms and work plans to train grassroots medical workers.
Qingzhen will take full advantage of its medical community and send top doctors from hospitals to deliver free outpatient services and lectures at basic medical institutes.
