Guo Yanhong, deputy director of the National Health Commission, said that being able to see a doctor and receive good treatment nearby and conveniently is the wish and expectation of the people. At present, China has built the world's largest medical service system. There are more than 1.1 million medical and health institutions nationwide, and more than 90% of residents can reach the nearest medical service point within 15 minutes. However, there is still a gap compared with the needs of the people. In the next five years, we need to shift from "having" to "being excellent." China will accelerate the improvement of a high-quality, efficient, and integrated medical and health service system, so that more people can access medical care and receive good treatment at their doorsteps.
