Optimized layout to improve healthcare

Guideline aims for better accessibility based on changes in demographics

The National Health Commission, together with 12 central and State departments, has issued a guideline for optimizing the allocation of primary healthcare resources to adapt to urbanization and demographic changes.

Aiming to provide better access to safe and effective primary healthcare closer to home, the guideline sets a three-phased goal for developing healthcare providers in the next decade, requiring higher accessibility and significantly improved conditions of the infrastructure by 2027.

By 2030, healthcare providers should be situated in a more balanced and reasonable way, and be able to provide telemedicine and smart health services.
