Chapter 064 The incomprehensible Secretary Xiao

What is the crux of the problem of "difficult and expensive medical treatment" with strong social repercussions, and where is the entry point of the reform of the medical and health system? From April 5th to 9th, Xiao Chen, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, took this hot spot and difficult issue of concern to the masses to conduct special research in Suyu and Pengcheng. Xiao Chen pointed out that it is necessary to solve the phenomenon of insufficient resources and structural imbalance in the development of medical and health undertakings as soon as possible by deepening the reform of the medical and health system, so that the majority of the people can obtain cheap and convenient medical and health services.

On the 23rd, Xiao Chen, accompanied by Vice Governor He Qiu, Secretary of the Suyu Municipal Party Committee Zhao Yunpeng and heads of relevant provincial departments, successively inspected seven hospitals at the city, county and township levels in Suyu. Let the people "afford to see the disease, see the good disease, see the rest assured of the disease", is the purpose of the private Zhongwu Hospital, Xiao Chen said with appreciation during the inspection, this practice is very good, the key to medical services is to benefit the masses, so that the people are satisfied.

Suyu Branch of Jinning Drum Tower Hospital is a new type of joint-stock hospital with cross-regional cooperation of medical resources. Xiao Chen asked with concern, what changes has the reform brought to the hospital? The person in charge of the hospital said that we had just completed the first liver transplant yesterday, and the level of medical technology had improved, and many difficult diseases of the people could be solved locally. The hospital has also expanded in size, with double the number of inpatients.

The good atmosphere of Suyu medical reform has attracted Dongfang City East Hospital to set up a branch, 14 experts are stationed for a long time to serve, and all medical staff who want to apply for senior titles must have a certificate of duty service in Suyu Hospital. Xiao Chen said that through cross-regional cooperation on high-quality medical resources in large cities, mutual benefit and win-win results can be achieved.

In Pengcheng, Xiao Chen successively inspected the Central Hospital and the Aixin Hospital. The municipal finance invests 2 million yuan every year to help more than 22,000 low-income households and extremely poor workers in the city solve the problems of inability to see a doctor and inflated drug prices, and the hospital has won universal praise from the masses. In the hospital's internal medicine clinic, Xiao Chen learned about the personal feelings of the masses face-to-face. He said: At present, we have not developed enough medical institutions for the families of the people in need, and in the future, the government should vigorously support affordable hospitals for ordinary people.

During the discussion with the heads of Suyu City, counties and medical and health institutions, Xiao Chen affirmed the achievements of the reform of Suyu's medical and health undertakings. He said that there are three most important evaluation criteria for measuring the success or failure of reform: whether the health service has developed, stagnated or shrunk? It depends on whether the people have access to better quality and lower cost medical services. It depends on whether the people are satisfied with the changes brought about by the reform?

He pointed out that in Suyu, the liberation of medical productive forces depends on a good system and mechanism, and on the medical tenet of "seeing the sick well, seeing the sick well, and seeing the sick with peace of mind." Everywhere we went, everyone expressed satisfaction and welcome to the reform, and the enthusiasm of medical staff to start a business and work hard to serve the people was also mobilized. "It is necessary to prevent and eliminate the misreading of Suyu's medical reform." Xiao Chen pointed out that the essence of Suyu's medical reform is not to "sell out" and "sī have", but to carry out structural adjustment in the medical field through asset replacement, attract social funds to set up basic medical care, expand the supply of high-quality medical resources, concentrate government funds to expand public health services, promote the rational flow of medical and nursing personnel, and enable the masses in difficult areas, especially farmers, to enjoy better medical services.

Xiao Chen made an in-depth analysis of the problem of "difficult and expensive medical treatment" that the masses complained about a lot. He said that in the process of rapid development of medical and health undertakings, there has been a phenomenon of structural imbalance. The development of large-scale high-end hospitals in cities is too fast, high-quality medical resources such as talents, equipment, and government investment funds are excessively concentrated in large hospitals in big cities, and the high fees brought about by high-end drugs and high-end equipment are not compatible with the income level of the majority of the masses in the initial stage of socialism, while the development of low-grade medical services is insufficient. This kind of imbalance makes it difficult for some low-income families to see a doctor, and ordinary families encounter "expensive medical treatment".

How can this be solved? Xiao Chen believes that on the one hand, it is necessary to optimize the investment of social funds through policy regulation and guidance, expand medical resources for the general public, especially high-quality medical resources, and solve the structural imbalance by deepening the reform of separating management and management and rational division of labor. On the one hand, it is necessary to actively develop urban community health services and rural cooperative medical care by increasing political input, so as to provide cheap and convenient medical services for the greatest number of people and solve the "difficulty in seeing a doctor." The government's medical expenditure should be mainly used to build affordable hospitals to solve the problem of "expensive medical treatment" for the general public, and at the same time support the establishment of relief hospitals such as "Huimin Hospital" and "Love Hospital" to provide the most basic medical services for the most needy families.

It is fundamental to meet the medical service needs of the masses and further accelerate the development of medical services, and Xiao Chen put forward specific requirements in accordance with the central government's deployment for the reform of the medical and health system and in combination with the actual situation in Jiangdong. The first is to actively build a grassroots health service network covering urban and rural areas; Second, governments at all levels should gradually increase investment in public health, especially in the prevention and control of public diseases and public health emergencies, and at the same time attract social investment in the development of medical undertakings through reforms, compete for development in an equal environment, and solve the problem of insufficient medical resources, especially high-quality medical resources, in northern Jiangsu and other places; Third, it is necessary to strengthen the management of the medical and pharmaceutical market, reform the mechanism for the formation of medical and pharmaceutical prices, and control the inflated prices and fees for medical examinations and medicines.

May 7, 2008 is a memorable day for Yakang Arison Pharmaceutical and even the entire Yakang Group; This day is also destined to leave an indelible mark on the development history of Yakang Group.

At about 11 o'clock in the morning, Xiao Chen, Secretary of the Jiangdong Provincial Party Committee and Director of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress, accompanied by Li Yang, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary-General, He Qiu, Vice Governor, Zhao Yunpeng, Secretary of the Suyu Municipal Party Committee, Zhang Wulong, Mayor of Suyu Municipal Party Committee, and heads of relevant departments of provinces, cities and counties, came to Arison Pharmaceutical for inspection. Yang Jianzhong, chairman of Yakang Pharmaceutical Group, made a special trip from Yanling to Suyu to welcome and receive these precious guests after learning the news of Secretary Xiao's inspection.

It was noon, the hottest time of the day, Secretary Xiao Chen ignored the fatigue of the journey and the hot weather, got off the car, and directly entered the workshop after a brief meeting with the relevant personnel. In front of the display board in the hall of the workshop, Secretary Xiao looked at the display board of Yakang Pharmaceutical, and listened carefully to the brief report of Wang Weizhong, general manager of Arison Pharmaceutical, when he heard that the sales of levofloxacin eye drops, telmisartan tablets and roxithromycin capsules of Arison Pharmaceutical ranked first, second and third respectively in the country, Secretary Xiao was very happy, and encouraged enterprises to aim at higher goals, continuously improve their independent innovation capabilities, always maintain technological advantages, and increase market development efforts.

After listening to the report, Xiao Chen entered the dressing room and prepared to change clothes and enter the comprehensive workshop for inspection. Seeing the large number of entourage, Secretary Xiao said with concern: "The workshop is in production, so everyone may not all go in, right?" As a result, only some of the main leaders of the provinces, cities and counties and Secretary Xiao entered the workshop according to the request of the pharmaceutical industry. Because the aisle of the workshop is relatively narrow and long, only two or three people can walk side by side, Secretary Xiao is very casual from time to time holding Chairman Yang Jianzhong's hand and walking side by side.

"When did you come to Xiangjiang County to invest?" Secretary Xiao asked with a smile.

"In 2002." Yang Jianzhong replied immediately.

Yang Jianzhong reported to Xiao Chen: "Our Yakang Group's sales revenue last year has reached more than 10 billion, and it also has a certain position in Yanling. Huaxia's pharmaceutical market has broad prospects, although the pharmaceutical industry is still average in the group, but as the main industry of Yakang in the future, we are ready, and medical reform is a rare opportunity for us. ”

In this regard, Secretary Xiao said in an affirmative tone: "Your decision is very good, after the start of this medical reform, whether it is a private enterprise or a private hospital, it will get a new opportunity to take off, I hope you will not miss it!" ”

Yang Jianzhong conveyed the greetings of Li Yunchu, chairman of the group, to Secretary Xiao Chen. He said: "Chairman Li Yunchu is now on his way to the United States for inspection, and he is very happy to learn the news of Secretary Xiao's visit to Arison. He asked me to invite you, hoping that in the future, when it is convenient for you, you can take time out of your busy schedule to come to Yanling and inspect and guide the work of Yakang Group. ”

Secretary Xiao listened and agreed with a smile: "Your company is doing so well, as long as I am free, I will definitely go to see Yakang headquarters!" ”

In the outer packaging section of the eye drop workshop, Secretary Xiao saw that the workers were working in a nervous and orderly manner, and a relieved smile appeared on his face. When he heard the report of General Manager Wang Weizhong of Arison that the production here is the L-ofloxacin eye drops, which ranks first in the country's sales, he nodded and praised: "Very good, very good, everyone has a serious attitude, which is a very key quality of pharmaceutical companies!" ”

In the tablet production line of the solid preparation workshop, Secretary Xiao picked up a plate of packaged medicine with great interest after listening to the introduction of Wang Weizhong, general manager of Arison Pharmaceutical, and looked at it. Xiao Wang also knew that this was the secretary of the Jiangdong Provincial Party Committee, and replied a little shyly: "Check the instructions, labels or something, this is the last process to control the quality." Secretary Xiao laughed, patted him on the shoulder cordially, and said in a loud voice: "Quality is above all else, you are the last process, and you must be strict, I think you are very serious, not bad!" When the young man heard this, his face flushed.

Leaving the comprehensive workshop, Xiao Chen and his entourage came to the central laboratory again. When Wang Weizhong, general manager of Arison, reported to Secretary Xiao that there is first-class testing equipment to ensure the quality of drugs, Secretary Xiao nodded and emphasized again: "Well, drugs are different from ordinary commodities, and the most critical and basic requirement for drug production is to ensure quality. ”

After the inspection, Xiao Chen came out of the workshop, walked to the MPV car, and took the hand of Yang Jianzhong, chairman of Yakang Pharmaceutical Group, and said seriously: "The investment environment here is good, the land price is low, and the policies are also favorable. ”

Yang Jianzhong said with a smile: "There are talents in northern Jiangsu, and we are actually just bringing a good mechanism here." ”

After listening to Yang Jianzhong's words, Xiao Chen nodded yes and said approvingly: "Yes, the leadership quality of your enterprise is very high. ”

After the inspection, Xiao Chen and his entourage braved the scorching sun and left Arison Pharmaceutical.

Seeing Xiao Chen's entourage of vehicles drifting away, the employees of Arison were still immersed in a great joy and memories, and Xiao Wang, a young worker who had zero contact and dialogue with Secretary Xiao Chen, had a happy smile on his face......

At this moment, Yang Jianzhong, chairman of Yakang Pharmaceutical Group, and Wang Weizhong, general manager of Arison Pharmaceutical, are in a mood that is difficult to calm down for a long time. Every word that Secretary Xiao said during the inspection seems to be still in his ears, and may become their permanent memory and aftertaste.

Yang Jianzhong said earnestly to everyone at the subsequent management meeting: "Secretary Xiao Chen's visit to Arison and the important instructions he made are not only the care and encouragement of Arison, but also the glory of Yakang Pharmaceutical!" We must understand the significance of Secretary Xiao's inspection from a higher level and height, because this is the cordial care and great encouragement of the leaders of the provincial party committee to Yakang Pharmaceutical and the entire Yakang Group! With the current scale image, we are ashamed and under a lot of pressure! Pay attention to the speed and method of the project, that is, don't let the local government fǔ, let alone embarrass yourself! Strive for a win-win situation. We must continue to innovate, forge ahead, aim at the goal of striving for a first-class pharmaceutical enterprise in China, and never disappoint the ardent expectations of the leaders of the provincial party committee for us! ”

In the MPV car, Xiao Chen was not as sunny as outside, but said to He Qiu, the vice governor beside him, with a solemn face: "Comrade He Qiu, Jiangdong's education, health and environment, I and the provincial party committee and the provincial government will entrust it to you, I hope you can really pick up this burden, use your iron fist, break some outdated rules and some jars that have long been broken, sweep them into the garbage heap, and establish and improve some new rules and regulations that are really beneficial to the people." ”

He Qiu is the former secretary of the Suyu Municipal Party Committee and the current vice governor in charge of education, health and environment.

Suyu City in northern Jiangsu was established only ten years old, it was established on the basis of the original county-level Suyu City and Shuyang, Siyang, and Sihong counties, and it can be said that it started from scratch at that time.

Judging from the official figures, during the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, the growth rate of five major economic indicators, including the gross domestic product and local fiscal revenue of the Suyu region, ranked first in Jiangdong Province, and the growth rate was in the forefront of the province for the first time.

Many people in the local area say that these achievements are related to He Qiu - since 1996, He Qiu has accompanied Suyu for ten years.

In 1996, He Qiu, who was sent to the United States to study and returned, went to serve as a member of the Standing Committee of the Suyu Municipal Party Committee, deputy mayor, and secretary of the Shuyang County Party Committee.

In the face of such a typical "backward region", He Qiu took a different path. This choice of path has always accompanied He Qiu's controversy and achievements.

In a "policy program" written by He Qiu, there is the following paragraph at the beginning: "The development status and situation of a region mainly depend on five factors, namely, location, resources, policies, mechanisms, and talents. However, judging from the actual situation, the location of a place cannot be chosen, resources are difficult to change, the room for policy regulation and control is also very limited, and the introduction, training, and use of qualified personnel are restricted by a number of conditions.

He Qiu then began the reform of the innovation mechanism in Suyu, and advanced it with an iron fist.

Looking at it now, He Qiu's stay in Suyu can be divided into two stages: one is the period of the secretary of the Shuyang County Party Committee; One is to transfer Suyu from Shuyang and serve as the secretary of the Suyu Municipal Party Committee.

During his tenure in Shuyang, He Qiu was known for his personal style of governance. For example, in order to change the bad habit of running a red light, the traffic police were sent to follow the fù woman who crossed the guardrail of the road; Even though the fù woman hid in the women's toilet, she still asked the female traffic police to go in and find her.

During the reign of Suyu, He Qiu made drastic changes in education and medical reform, and widespread controversy arose - for He Qiu's reform in Shuyang, the outside world mainly focused on the means used in the reform; The reform of the education and medical system during the Suyu period attracted objections on the path.

Taking medical reform as an example, He Qiu implemented a "four separation" reform in Suyu that included "separation of medical treatment and administration, and separation of medical treatment and prevention", and his unexpected move was to put township health centers and county-level doctors up for auction.

In August 2003, the Ministry of Health formed a research team to conduct field research in Suyu in response to the auction of the township health center in Suyu. According to a summary of the survey, the research team did not express any approval of the Suyu auction hospital's approach.

On September 24, Suyu also defended the reform of Suyu's medical service in the "Report on the Reform and Development of the City's Health Industry" submitted to the Jiangdong Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government. The report said that if a region like Suyu, which has a poor foundation in all respects and a weak economic foundation, follows all the rules, copies the provisions, and does not dare to make breakthroughs, the development of the public health industry will not be able to make substantial progress.

Therefore, the reform of Suyu's medical industry adopts the reform ideas of "grasping the prevention and insurance end, liberalizing the medical treatment", "straightening out the system, revitalizing the stock, relying on external forces, introducing competition, and accelerating development" and "relying on the outside, relying on the big, and relying on the strong".

He Qiu was lucky - when the list of candidates for discussion was brewing at the current people's congress in Jiangdong Province, the presidium headed by Director Xiao Chen evaluated He Qiu as "determined to reform and strong in work".

"Some people who hoped that He Qiu would go at the beginning are now beginning to appreciate He Qiu's goodness." An official in Suyu City also said that now Shuyang has embarked on a new road of development in northern Jiangsu, becoming a well-known "hometown of huā wood" in the country, and has realized the "uplift from the valley bottom".

"He Qiu's promotion shows that Jiangdong Province basically recognizes his reforms." The person here commented.

He Qiu is forty-seven years old this year, he is a very serious person, even after listening to the words of the provincial party secretary, he only nodded solemnly, but his tone was very calm: "Secretary rest assured, I will do my best." ”

Xiao Chen nodded slightly and said: "Jiangdong's development speed in recent years has lagged behind Lingnan and Jiangnan, and in 2005, the GDP was surpassed by Qidong. ”

He Qiu glanced at Xiao Chen and nodded heavily: "I have enough confidence in the provincial party committee team led by Secretary Xiao. ”

Xiao Chen laughed, very happy.

Li Yang, Secretary General of the Provincial Party Committee, who was sitting in the back row of Secretary Xiao, speculated in his heart, is Secretary Xiao's mood really as relaxed as he appeared? Jiangdong has dropped to the fourth position, with Secretary Xiao's character of striving for excellence everywhere, he must be ashamed of others, but none of the actions he has done recently are beneficial to the finances, but everywhere is money...... What does this secretary, who is valued by the central government and evaluated as "making great efforts to promote reform", think?
