The 13th Five-Year Plan for Elderly Care Service System in Guangdong Province (“RFC”) was released to the public on 8th August. It is proposed in the RFC that 35 or more beds should be provided to every 1000 elderly persons in all types of elderly care facilities within the province during the 13th Five-Year period. By 2017, more than 50% of the elderly care establishments will set up a mechanism for combining medical and elderly care resources; and, by 2020, all elderly care establishments will have such a mechanism.
CCTV Economy Channel invited Li Bin, Directory of National Health and Family Planning Commission, to be the guest of its “Dialogue” Program in the evening of 28th August. Li Bin appeared before the public right at the time when the National Sanitation and Health Conference was convened and the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee reviewed and approved of the Outline of “Healthy China 2030” Plan, so his appearance drew lots of attention. It can be said that, to some extent, the presence of Li Bin as a guest in this Dialogue Program is to give comprehensive interpretation and communication of the spirit of the National Sanitation and Health Conference attended by all top leaders in the previous week.
