Hunan has included 30 major diseases, including lung cancer, into the protection of the new rural cooperative medical system

From the Health Department of Hunan Province on the 24th, it was learned that Hunan Province effectively integrated the new rural cooperative medical system with the rural medical assistance system, and included serious illnesses such as severe mental illnesses into the key scope of protection of the new rural cooperative medical system, effectively reducing the economic burden of farmers suffering from major diseases.

According to Fang Yibing, Deputy Director of the Department of Health of Hunan Province, in 2012, the participation rate of the new rural cooperative medical system in Hunan continued to be above 95%, and the per capita funding level was raised to 290 yuan, of which the financial subsidy was raised to 240 yuan. Within the scope of the ability of the New Rural Cooperative Fund, Hunan will intensify medical protection for major rural diseases. After full investigation, it will include lung cancer, esophageal cancer, severe psychosis, end-stage renal disease, multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, and women's "two cancers." Major diseases, such as cervical cancer and breast cancer, have been included in the key scope of NCMS coverage, and the reimbursement rate for hospitalization has been raised to more than 80%.

Reporters interviewed in rural areas learned that after the township hospitals have implemented the basic drug system and outpatient clinics, the participating farmers can basically see the disease and see the disease in the township health center. However, hospitals in the hospitals treat common diseases and frequently-occurring diseases in rural areas, and it is often the major diseases that cause rural families to return to poverty because of illness. Some peasants with serious illnesses are faced with the problems of difficulty in seeing a doctor and expensive medical services in large hospitals.

Hunan, on the basis of safeguarding basic medical services in rural areas, gradually expands the coverage of the new rural cooperative medical treatment and treatment of major rural diseases, so that participating farmers can effectively enjoy the benefits brought by the new medical reforms.
