Foreword
健康是促進(jìn)人的全面發(fā)展的必然要求。提高人民健康水平,實(shí)現(xiàn)病有所醫(yī)的理想,是人類社會(huì)的共同追求。在中國這個(gè)有著13億多人口的發(fā)展中大國,醫(yī)療衛(wèi)生關(guān)系億萬人民健康,是一個(gè)重大民生問題。
中國高度重視保護(hù)和增進(jìn)人民健康。憲法規(guī)定,國家發(fā)展醫(yī)療衛(wèi)生事業(yè),發(fā)展現(xiàn)代醫(yī)藥和傳統(tǒng)醫(yī)藥,保護(hù)人民健康。圍繞憲法,中國逐步形成了相對完善的衛(wèi)生法律法規(guī)體系。
多年來,中國堅(jiān)持“以農(nóng)村為重點(diǎn),預(yù)防為主,中西醫(yī)并重,依靠科技與教育,動(dòng)員全社會(huì)參與,為人民健康服務(wù),為社會(huì)主義現(xiàn)代化建設(shè)服務(wù)”的衛(wèi)生工作方針,努力發(fā)展具有中國特色的醫(yī)療衛(wèi)生事業(yè)。經(jīng)過不懈努力,覆蓋城鄉(xiāng)的醫(yī)療衛(wèi)生服務(wù)體系基本形成,疾病防治能力不斷增強(qiáng),醫(yī)療保障覆蓋人口逐步擴(kuò)大,衛(wèi)生科技水平日益提高,居民健康水平明顯改善。
Good health is a prerequisite for promoting all-round development of the person. And it is a common pursuit of human societies to improve people's health and ensure their right to medical care. For China, a large developing country, medical and healthcare is of vital importance to its population of over 1.3 billion, and is a major issue concerning its people's well being.
China pays great attention to protecting and improving its people's health. As the Constitution stipulates, "The state develops medical and health services, promotes modern medicine and traditional Chinese medicine..., all for the protection of the people's health." Based on this constitutional stipulation, China has put in place a complete system of laws and regulations concerning medical and health services.
Over the years, China has worked hard to develop its medical and health services with Chinese characteristics in accordance with the policy of "making rural areas the focus of our work, putting disease prevention first, supporting both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, relying on science, technology and education, and mobilizing the whole of society to join the efforts, improving the people's health and serving socialist modernization." Thanks to unremitting efforts that have been made, medical and healthcare systems covering both urban and rural residents have taken shape, the capabilities of disease prevention and control have been enhanced, the coverage of medical insurance has expanded, continuous progress has been made in medical science and technology, and the people's health has been remarkably improved.
