Updated: 2009-02-18 15:10 LHASA -- Tibet Autonomous Region in southwest China spent 120 million yuan (about 16 million US dollars) in 2008 to renovate or build health care institutions, an official with the regional health department said Wednesday.
"It was hard for us to get decent medical services two years ago," said Anu, a 42-year-old Tibetan herder in Doilungdeqen county of Lhasa. "But now we can go to village clinics and county health care centers for medical treatments. We can also go to big hospitals in Lhasa, where medical facilities are much better and modern, " the man said. Rural Tibetans can enjoy better medical services in big hospitals, because hospital expenses can be partly covered by the government, said Anu, whose words were echoed by Zhoima. "The central government raised the medical subsidy for rural Tibetans to 140 yuan per person in 2008 from 100 yuan in 2007," Zhoima said. The central government has spent more than 1.8 billion yuan in the past 30 years on developing health care in Tibet, according to official figures. "We will continue our efforts to improve the medical and health care services for Tibetans," Zhoima said. "We plan to set up four county-level centers for disease control and 93 county clinics in Tibet by the end of the year." |
