How does a fast-growing city ensure healthcare security for all? Li Yuanbin, Chief Physician of the Endocrinology Department at Southern University of Science and Technology Hospital explains how medical insurance works and how it provides a financial safety net to all. 

According to the 2026 Shenzhen Government Work Report, the city spent 1.6 trillion yuan on livelihood services during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025), nearly 70% of fiscal spending. With more hospitals, expanding community clinics and high medical insurance coverage, Shenzhen is working to ensure that rapid urban growth is matched by strong healthcare protection for its residents.
