Promoting Equalization of Medical Resources in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei

The coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei has become a major national strategy. To solve such uneven allocation problem of public resources, as medical treatment, has become an inevitable requirement for the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei. In recent years, although the inequality of medical resources in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei has gradually narrowed down, there is a huge gap in the equality of health technicians and health expenditure, and a significant gap in the allocation of medical resources between the urban and rural areas of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei. The inequality of discourse position, unclear financial responsibility and power, and inadequate planning guarantee are the practical difficulties that hinder the equalization of medical resources in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei. To better realize the balanced development of medical resources in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, we should define the roles of the three areas, establish the concept of overall coordination, solve the financial and tax system problems, encourage social forces to run medical services, attach importance to personnel training and exchange, build a hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system, and rely on the construction of information platform to innovate and improve the service level.
