insurance. or polar or doctor and brother when he or the ward. where what the people there who are most in that you fall through are the for the. three cos all you've got. to deal with or a portion are going to be wow. all are actual to do that and it's here the hour before the end of a hot literally out of water. into what going to the room for the hot bad up out its ass the usual for it in our how to deal with her off without her tootsies untruth. why it's not just the treatment the time the talk to go devotes to her patients and the trust between doctor and patient is also at the heart of china's new primary health reform oh yeah and i would. send them both her ha. ha. ha ha shem then as she and

general practitioners are still new in china and it's not the first career choice for most young doctors you can earn more in specialist hospitals but otago knows what she wants the math and you have a couple of local food or would be worth maybe a lot for now but a war that will. draw more than call for quality then always. the need for well trained general practitioners has highlighted a major problem while china has two point two four million trained doctors it has one point four billion patients one doctor for every six hundred people. the primary health reform has meant that many retired doctors have been brought back into action was. we're going

dr jang is in charge of the community centers new rehabilitation units with better living standards the chinese are now faced with more chronic illnesses like high blood pressure stroke and diabetes as in developed countries in the past decade they account for eighty percent of all illnesses and deaths in china and it's the community doctors who are taking on this challenge with western and traditional chinese medicine it's a long way from where dr jang started forty years ago. to manage all. of you know you don't know what show you sure are a problem for the animals when you mention chen and if you. are your future sure that their share of marital diarrhea or chinese or a woman should you get cheeky which is what i want out on your floor good home

art of general practice in his retirement where the current position that you're sure you bought been undone who tune in the sure you bonnie that you know the sure you're. the. city the being new. to the show whole. one quarter of one day what would you rather see me about. condition health center dr lou has also rejoined the health workforce from retirement their rule is essentially to help the government meet its targets of getting every family signed up with a general practitioner by twenty twenty. one where i have an account. that maybe i'm a girl so to me none of them even know what it was and i don't i shall be on that so you know something a little more up i don't know what is on. me

and has terminal cancer she has already gone through several courses of chemotherapy like many old people in china today she lives alone her only daughter works elsewhere and can only manage the occasional visit. so don't tell you who to hire these houses it's a critical both for treatment and for keeping her spirits up. how many. detained her door and yell out all your unusual outdoor air do you hear about i don't know why. how many are. you best of that it's usually

as possible it's good for them and of course for the health system. it costs a fraction of the price than it would tell have them hospitalized. with nearly one hundred billion dollars spent on tackling chronic illnesses in the last decade the only way for china to have a chance to provide sustainable health care is to have gate keepers like dr louis. the past decades have been a rule coaster. for most cradle to grave have fessed up to a profit driven market system in the one nine hundred eighty s. . and it's back to basic health care for everyone every day new initiatives that announced e.l.c. are simple which unfold as you have the money what should you go solo poorly to ship what insult a long face. being that can be great and didn't get that message of getting in

social mission to basically how you got to that t advise you to tell yourself four days feels like a portal out in space under project joseph i mimicked it was up in the delta gob i think it's usually. with fifty percent of the population living in the countryside . perhaps the most significant reform has been the creation of riddle health insurance it may well be saving the life of this six year old boy if you're proud you're here thinking i was trying. to be what today is so young sixth birthday but he is facing an eight hour life saving operation on his rear heart condition. yet we. have heard enough from us. that. he and his whole family mother father grandmother grandfather uncle and downs old peasant farmers have travelled over

system reforms. of one point four billion people over half of him live in the countryside. one of the most important year health reforms has been for peasants it's only in the past twelve years that health insurance has been extended to them. to show family and their sick young son or from a small village a thousand kilometers away from beijing located in the cold far north on the border with russia. it is one of the poorest regions of china and the annual family in color is just three thousand two hundred dollars one sixth of the national average they used to benefit from barefoot doctors for free but had to pay for all their treatments since the market reforms began in the one nine hundred eighty s.

. just six months ago their only child six years old showed young began to feel ill. and you really should. do a hindrance. to holding. that would change it to a family of four why your status is a little hazard to the family of all the heartless good. previously they would have had to pay for the entire treatment themselves. the new government run riedel health insurance pays for up to ninety percent of all local hospital bills you know there will soon though who are those who want to hire rule it out a little longer term problem or even the intent is if. you don't even go there. live at the new ball probably. right. there's.

thirty. or thirty then that high that they'll. eat in show young's case the local county hospital quickly realized his condition was very serious so he and his mother were unfair to the prevention hospice hold the air. mother and son travel to harbin the provincial capital. once they're out of the country the insurance scheme will cover them for seventy percent of treatment. so. that kind of him and. i thought well that's why i think if you were walking and.

after the examination harbin hospital confirmed to show young has a very complex cardiac condition particularly dangerous for young children and. they're not confident they can perform the operation here so that it fair the family to she her hospital in beijing over one thousand kilometers away. from dying and they'll all of a lather sure hope. and they hog the lab which are a lot gonna have a lot piling a show you know is it all that two thousand years in the semi that. the family hesitates before traveling to beijing while the health insurance will cover some of the cost joe young's mother is worried about the expense of this kind of operation in such a famous hospital why it's all out all they want to show is highly little bill and similar ideas though so hola. show me ways out law

to not over shows all the celebrities. opinion. i haven't driven go shower. show young's condition deteriorated and with that surgery his life was at risk. so the family decides that no matter what the cost of the travel to be showing for immediate treatment. now where this in early this in the us almost all a deal out of all of this year was that haha you know how this album in the current should actually. brought the. hollow up. as it turned out that they travel to be just in time. for an ocean of. those sort of chinese

whom you i heard in the about there are a whore and therefore there are a lot of european even. if you don't are going to leave your whole behavior changes you know. your daughter board or. the operation in beijing will cost them about twenty five thousand dollars which is equal to eight years income for young's whole family. or if you know of this for you right away out of your reward and your poor will only go to iraq and if you are a while harsh on the young boy or whether you are poor got a little hard of hearing hearing for the wrong idea about your book on dolls or your lack of come you. share who hospital like most hospitals in china

has been a profit making business since the early one nine hundred eighty s. . the new health reform means that even those young's family must take a huge loan to cover the treatment they hope they can claim at least some of it back through the insurance scheme. you know the homes here last year for not well and aren't being there for don't draw on enough for you know the last. die. hard about life. as the operation approaches and the risk of losing the family's only child becomes clear to show young's mother she asks to come in with him. well that and it all but i don't think that is all that. terrible ious a lot. actually like. well

. i. don't think. initially felt that her family and. i felt it to be. the operation is a very complex one and the hospital coles and their most experienced staff including the senior needs to test. in one kind of some momentum that. each other causes them to tell your teen and this and that so to hell will move the console of the cell so causes told someone to listen something some of us can go into. the machine and talk and that's among us is so it's at those two that i just

tell them joe could consider that bullshit just let them incessantly find. the idea. the best doctors in china are no world class but there are still too few of them and they are too concentrated in beijing and shanghai. it will be years before a show young could have such an operation and his regional hospice home.

show young is still under anaesthetic. the family can only wait at site for the final outcome. so the shots from. waterloo bridge little. bit of. several senior nischelle. you see her tell her she was in trouble with you hollis it appears. that you

know she is so ashamed of her label you are up to any and i say no to the both of you. and. the family can stay but they have nowhere to go. we cannot afford tales or hostels in the capital so they have to wait at the back of the hospital. is a testing time for the grandparents. i. don't . know. what that doctor done on

a day. at the hive in. there were days. but when they've had the will it be a partner's a holler one you call one quarter one of her to go without that. well run that means that the yelling on the walls when they yell what now and then they didn't yell raisin that they come out of the yeah it's you have little faith or that. it's really a book or what your words that might. try. to. trigger you. as a come. you go how the what's in the house. they will sleep through not so actually that they have. the insurance just not.
