CHANGSHA, March 12 (Xinhua) — Junaid Iqbal, a Pakistani medical student in China, has got a chance to ask a Chinese political advisor about the country’s drive to build a healthy China.
Having lived in China for eight years, Iqbal has been paying close attention to events and news in China, including this year’s annual “two sessions” that concluded Friday — the annual sessions of China’s top legislature and political advisory body.
Iqbal got a chance to speak to CPPCC National Committee member Xu Ziqiang, who is also the director of the emergency department of Chenzhou First People’s Hospital in Hunan.
To better build a healthy China and promote the people’s well-being, which was mentioned in the government work report on Wednesday, “the first is to strengthen the build-up of all practitioners and improve their overall capabilities,” Xu answered in terms of community-level healthcare systems.
“The second is to improve the facilities of community-level healthcare systems, as well as medical equipment and medicine supplies, facilitating people’s access to medical treatment,” Xu said via video with Iqbal.
