国务委员兼国家计划生育委员会主任彭佩云最近在江苏考察时提出了当前卫生改革的一个极为重要的问题。她认为改革和建设社会医疗保健制度是深化卫生体制改革的关键。任何工作都应抓住主要矛盾,主要矛盾解决了,一切问题也就迎刃而解了。现代化建设时期,卫生部门的主要任务是保障人民健康,促进社会经济建设,同时要适应经济的发展,应用社会主义市场经济体制的规律,促进卫生事业的发展和建设。社会医疗保健制度的改革和建设能起到一箭双雕的作用,主要表现为能保证人民群众获得及时、合理、有效的医疗、预防、保健服务;能保证城乡三级医疗卫生肉的稳定和提高;能保证医疗卫生部门按照市场经济规律改善经济状况,促进事业的发展。因此,我们认为彭佩云同志讲话是抓住了卫生工作的主要矛盾,值得全国卫生界的重视和贯彻。 Peng Peiyun, state councillor and director of the National Family Planning Commission, recently proposed an extremely important issue in the current health reform. She believes that reforming and building a social health care system is the key to deepening the reform of the health system. Any work should grasp the main contradiction. The main contradiction is solved and all problems will be solved. During the modernization period, the main task of the health department is to protect people’s health and promote social and economic development. At the same time, they must adapt to the economic development, apply the laws of the socialist market economic system, and promote the development and construction of the health industry. The reform and construction of the social health care system can serve as a double-edged sword, mainly to ensure that the people receive timely, reasonable, and effective medical, preventive, and health care services; and to ensure the stability and improvement of the three-level medical and health meat in urban and rural areas; Ensure that the medical and health departments improve economic conditions and promote the development of the business according to the rules of market economy. Therefore, we believe that Comrade Peng Peiyun’s speech has captured the main contradiction in health work and deserves the attention and implementation of the national health community.
