China's current medical resources have not reached the degree of shortage, and there is still a certain degree of surplus in medical resources, Jiao Yahui, head of the Medical Affairs Department under the National Health Commission (NHC), said on Thursday.
For cities at the peak of the COVID-19 epidemic, there has been a structural contradiction between the supply and demand of medical resources. The NHC has asked local governments to expand the supply of medical services and expand medical resources as much as possible, Jiao said.
China is also promoting a three-tiered health system through medical reform to help form a pattern of orderly medical treatment and ease the pressure on medical resources.
The majority of patients with common illnesses can seek treatment at community and higher-level hospitals, while those with severe illnesses can seek treatment at top-tier hospitals, she explained.
In addition, the medical needs of the masses can be met through remote medical treatment and online medicine purchasing, according to Jiao.
