Li stressed that future work should: put emphasis on deepening healthcare reform, effectively allocate medical resources, improve the bidding and purchasing system for medicine, control the unreasonable increase of medical expenses, abolish the system that subsidizes medical services with profits from drug sales and establish a sound modern hospital management system. She also urged that a grading diagnosis and treatment system should be set up in order to introduce quality medical resources at the community level. Medical insurance work should be pushed forward. A disease emergency aid system should also be built, improving the essential medicine system and stepping up the construction of medical institutions run by social groups. According to Li, family planning policy remains a basic state policy of China. The two-child policy should be steadily carried out. Health departments should improve public health emergency aid, ensure food safety, upgrade medical service quality, and improve the TCM development policy and system.
