Since 2019, in Liu Yuqin’s hometown of Tuquan County, Xing’an League, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, high-quality medical resources have been sunk to the grassroots level, and a group of “local famous doctors” have been enriched in township hospitals and village clinics. Minor ailments and common ailments can be treated at your doorstep.
Liu Yuqin was swollen because of complications from diabetes. Every morning, she went to the clinic of Baolong Village, Baoshi Town, Tuquan County for acupuncture treatment. “It’s much easier to stick a needle for an hour without delaying going home at noon to do farm work and housework,” Liu Yuqin said. In addition to a few villagers from Baolong Village, there were also patients from neighboring villages who were treated at the Baolong Village Clinic. Dr. Li Chaohui from the village clinic is one of the first batch of “local famous doctors” trained in Tuquan County, and has won the trust of the villagers because of his excellent acupuncture skills.
“After the implementation of the ‘local famous doctor’ program in the county, I was sent to study abroad twice, which greatly improved my diagnosis and treatment skills, and acupuncture treatment can be better effective.” Li Chaohui said that in the past the village health There are only three or five people in the room to see the doctor a day, and now the patients waiting for acupuncture are lined up from morning to night, and they are too busy to hire three medical staff.
The village doctor is the “gatekeeper” of the villagers’ health. Tuquan County has improved the ability of the village doctor team to target diabetes, hypertension, osteoarthritis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Li Shuzhi, a villager in Baosheng Village, Baoshi Town, bought medicine for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in the village clinic. The toll collector of the town clinic 10 kilometers away settled the medicine fee for her in the medical insurance reimbursement system, and took a photo of the settlement slip and sent it to the village Doctor, Li Shuzhi immediately scanned the code at the village clinic to pay, and went directly to the medical insurance for reimbursement.
“The outpatient construction of village clinics is the key to the integration of county and rural medical and health services.” Song Qingjun, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of the General Hospital of Tuquan County Medical Group and president of the Baotou Town Health Center, said that the township health center After the unified management of the village clinics, the outpatient volume of the township medical institutions has more than tripled, and two-thirds of them come from the village clinics.

Han Ying said: “The hardware facilities of the health center are complete, but the diagnosis and treatment capabilities need to be improved. We conduct hands-on training for medical staff and regularly invite specialist doctors to visit. Some minor operations that can be completed in the health center do not need to go to the county hospital.
When Han Ying first went to the village for free clinic in Shuiquan Town, the villagers always asked anxiously: “Can the health center cure the disease?” “At that time, the villagers generally did not trust the township health center. If they have a minor illness, they will go to the health center first.” Han Ying said, “We must continue to improve the capacity of primary medical services, and truly make the villagers ‘minor illnesses not in the village’.”
