Abstract:
Introduced and analyzed in the paper are a reform made in Suichang county of Zhejiang province,in which a general community health center is established as an affiliate to the county TCM hospital which oversees the medical personnel,financial and properties of primary health centers in the country.An analysis of the merits and setbacks of the practice,the authors hold that the reform to build vertical medical consortiums between county-level public hospitals and primary health centers should emphasize the principles of “Consolidating the primary level and benefiting the people”,keep the rights and obligations consistent,and emphasize functional integration and resources sharing in terms of patient flow,personnel,facilities,technology,information and management.
