Zhang Mao: Local governments must boldly explore the reform of public administration

“The best experience comes from the grassroots.” On August 25th, Zhang Mao, deputy leader of the State Council’s Medical Reform Leading Group and Party Secretary and Vice Minister of the Ministry of Health, pointed out during the investigation of medical reform in Shaanxi Province that the reform of public hospitals is difficult and has heavy tasks. Wide-ranging, some deep-seated contradictions and problems can hardly be solved in a short period of time, and further exploration and research are needed. All localities must continue to increase the implementation of medical reform policies and coordinate and communicate with each other. Under the premise of adhering to the commonweal nature, they should boldly explore and accumulate experience for the next reform.

Baoji City is one of the pilot cities for reform of public hospitals in 17 countries. During the investigation, Zhang Mao visited village clinics, community health service centers, township hospitals, and public hospitals at county and municipal public hospitals in Baoji City. He also held talks with representatives of the provincial and municipal medical reform leading groups and medical personnel. . County hospital reform is the focus of this year's reform of public hospitals. Zhang Mao investigated in detail the practices of local county hospitals in the aspects of compensation mechanism, government supervision mechanism, internal operating mechanism, and mobilization of the enthusiasm of medical personnel.

Zhang Mao pointed out that in view of the progress in the reform of public hospitals throughout the country, localities have combined the implementation of medical reforms to benefit the people and the people and promote institutional and institutional reforms and the establishment of long-term effective mechanisms, in accordance with the requirements of “combination of upper and lower linkages, internal vitality, and external impetus”. Pilot experience continues to emerge. However, many issues need to be further explored and resolved, including how to adhere to government-led and market-based mechanisms, how to implement compensation mechanisms, adjust prices of medical services, how to regulate the unreasonable expansion of public hospitals, curb the excessive growth of medical expenses, and how to mobilize medical personnel Enthusiasm and so on.

He emphasized that the institutional reform of public hospitals is the driving force and guarantee for the people to benefit the people. The people and the people are the result of the reform of the institutional mechanism. Without reform of the institutional mechanisms, the people benefiting the people will not be able to form a long-term mechanism. The people do not feel it. The effect of the reform is also not good. The two must be closely integrated. Localities, especially pilot cities, must correctly understand the current situation of public hospital reforms, clearly define the direction, and dare to overcome challenges, make active explorations and conclusions, and strive to achieve substantial progress in some key areas and form new experiences. And highlights.

Zhang Mao pointed out that governments at all levels should further enhance the understanding of the importance, urgency, arduousness, and complexity of medical reform, adhere to the direction of public welfare reform, strengthen organization and leadership, and solidly push forward various measures; at the same time, attention should be paid to strengthening overall coordination. We will mobilize the areas of government, society, the masses, medical personnel, and other areas to form a concerted effort. To implement the “Three Goods and One Satisfaction” campaign as a medical and health system to implement the specific content of “serve for the people first”, continuously enhance service awareness, improve service capabilities and levels, improve service style, and strive to improve the satisfaction of the people.
