“As of the end of November 2021, the completion rate of the deepening reform of 1,154 medical institutions run by central enterprises has reached 99.6%. Among them, 359 medical institutions have achieved professional operation and centralized management through internal integration of central enterprises; 202 medical institutions have passed Reform is promoted through reorganization, restructuring, trusteeship, and transfer to local specialized platforms.” On December 23, Tang Zujun, deputy director of the Reform Bureau of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, said at a media briefing on deepening reform of medical institutions run by central enterprises.
The “Resolution of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Major Achievements and Historical Experience of the Party’s Centuries of Struggle” adopted by the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China clearly stated that it is necessary to “promote the construction of a healthy China in an all-round way”, “deepen the reform of the medical and health system”, and “improve the public Health Service System”.
Tang Zujun said that medical institutions run by state-owned enterprises are an important part of my country’s medical service system and an important force in building a healthy China. Deepening the reform of medical institutions run by state-owned enterprises will not only help state-owned enterprises unload their burdens and go into battle with fairness, participate in market competition fairly, and become stronger, better, and larger state-owned enterprises. It will also help in-depth advancement of the supply-side structural reform in the health sector. , Expand the supply of high-quality medical and health services, and improve service efficiency and quality.
In fact, as early as 2017, with the consent of the State Council, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council and other six departments issued the “Guiding Opinions on Deepening the Reform of Educational and Medical Institutions Run by State-owned Enterprises”, and clarified four ways to deepen the reform: First, encourage transfer Local management. State-owned enterprises and local governments have reached a consensus and the local governments agree that non-profit medical institutions run by state-owned enterprises can be transferred to local management and incorporated into the local public health management service system. The second is to actively carry out resource integration. Support state-owned enterprises whose main business is the health industry to integrate resources of medical institutions to achieve professional operation and centralized management. The third is to standardize and promote reorganization and restructuring. Actively introduce professional and powerful social capital, and follow the principle of marketization to participate in the reorganization and restructuring in an orderly and standard manner, and give priority to restructuring into non-profit medical institutions. The fourth is to implement closure and cancellation in an orderly manner. For medical institutions run by enterprises that are difficult to operate and lack competitive advantages, implement the closure and cancellation, and properly carry out the work of distributing and relocating employees.
“Through this round of reforms, state-owned central enterprises have played a major role in deepening the supply-side structural reform of health services and implementing a healthy China strategy.” Tang Zujun said, first, the level of medical services has been further improved. State-owned enterprise hospitals that implement reorganization and integration have changed from the non-main business assets of the original host company to the main business assets of the main business enterprise. The medical resources have been optimized, the organization of personnel and medical resource guarantee capabilities have been significantly enhanced, and the quality of medical care has been steadily improved. Second, the overall scale and strength have been further strengthened. In this round of reforms, central enterprises with medical and health as their main business actively participated in reorganization and mergers and acquisitions, intensified professional integration, and focused on building a large health ecosystem. The third is to further improve the medical security of the employees and special fields.
Tang Zujun said that in the next step, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council will expedite the completion of the finalizing task of hospital reform. Accelerate the integration of resources, give full play to the advantages of the entire industry chain of key enterprises, innovate business models, strengthen management, and continuously improve the level of medical services; accelerate the introduction of work plans to support the high-quality development of state-owned enterprises-run medical institutions, and further promote the sustainability of state-owned enterprise medical and health groups Develop, continue to be stronger and better and bigger.
