On November 21, our city held a press conference to release the concrete achievements of the “dual-entity co-building” initiative in expanding and channeling high-quality medical resources to the grassroots level. It was reported that, through the development of closely integrated urban medical consortiums, our city has effectively enhanced primary-level healthcare service capacity, with residents’ sense of access to medical care continuing to improve.

According to the briefing, in 2023 the Municipal People’s Hospital and Jin’an District, as well as the Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Yu’an District, jointly established closely integrated urban medical consortiums. These efforts focused on extending high-quality resources—such as medical talent, technologies, management expertise, and services—toward the grassroots. Building on this foundation, a three-tier linkage model of “municipal hospitals supporting district-level hospitals, and district-level hospitals supporting primary institutions” was further developed, alongside the implementation of four-tier vertical management. This enabled integrated coordination of personnel, finances, and materials, significantly improving the efficiency of medical resource allocation and operations.

Since August 2023, a total of 71 specialists have been stationed at the grassroots level through long-term placements and regular outpatient visits. Twelve specialist studios have been established, with 841 surgical procedures performed and 235,000 free specialist outpatient visits provided. Within the medical consortiums, more than 1,000 types of medicines and consumables have been integrated into unified catalogs, 28 joint medical quality inspections have been conducted, 113,000 remote imaging diagnostic reports have been issued, and 19,700 remote ECG diagnoses completed. The convenient care model of “primary-level examinations with higher-level diagnoses” has become routine.

Today, the outcomes of the reform are increasingly evident. A rational healthcare-seeking pattern—”minor illnesses treated in the community, serious conditions handled by hospitals, and rehabilitation returning to the grassroots”—is taking shape. Going forward, our city will continue to deepen the “dual-entity co-building” initiative, further anchoring high-quality medical resources at the primary level, so that more residents can enjoy high-quality, convenient healthcare services right at their doorstep.
