儿童参加基本医疗保险专项行动

Chinese authorities on March 4 released a circular on the launch of a campaign to expand basic medical insurance coverage for children, aiming to safeguard the rights, interests and health of children in the country. The circular, issued by the National Healthcare Security Administration, the Ministry of Education and the National Health Commission, sets the goal that by the end of 2024, over 80 percent of newborns are covered by national basic medical insurance in the year of birth.

国家医保局、教育部、国家卫生健康委等部门3月2日发布通知，开展儿童参加基本医疗保险专项行动，保障儿童参保权益，维护儿童健康。通知明确提出力争到2024年底，80%以上新生儿在出生当年参保。

We will promote the orderly linking up of medical insurance programs at different levels, improve major disease insurance and medical assistance schemes, and see that medical expenses are settled where they are incurred. We will institute an insurance system to support long-term care and vigorously develop commercial medical insurance.

促进多层次医疗保障有序衔接，完善大病保险和医疗救助制度，落实异地就医结算，建立长期护理保险制度，积极发展商业医疗保险。
