The seminar on deepening medical reform held at SYSU
Prof. Zheng Detao pointed out that it is significant to study deepening the reform of medical and health care system in the economic new normal. The medical and health care system, which involves medical insurance, medical services as well as medical and health industry, needs comprehensive and cross-disciplinary studies. With multi-disciplinary advantages, SYSU has made research achievements in the fields of medical support as well as medical and health care policies. Recently, SYSU established three research platforms, including the Research Institute for Governance, which will integrate our research strengths in medical support, medial and health care, and medical reform.
In addition to the plenary session, the seminar also organized four parallel forums. The participants discussed themes such as the coordination of relations in medical insurance, medical services and medical system, local experiences of medical reform, cost control in health care, construction of medical service system, etc.
