About 98 percent of villagers first come to me when they get sick. They only go to a county hospital when I can't cure their illness. |
I proposed to the premier that China should speed up the promotion of a new rural cooperative medical system to let more farmers enjoy the benefits. |
I was so happy to hear that. Premier Wen also said in his report that medical staff in the cities will go to the countryside to provide medical services on a regular basis in the future. This is really good news. We need good doctors and we want them to stay too. |
The average income in my village is only 500 yuan (about 63 U.S. dollars) a year, most of which is spent on daily life and children's education. When villagers get seriously ill, they have no money to go to a hospital. |
