摘要:In this study, a comprehensive survey of medical assistance in Chongqing was conducted by literature review, group interview and questionnaires, and some prominent problems were found, including imperfect fund-raising mechanisms, complex medical assistance procedures, as well as inadequate propaganda and understanding of medical assistance policies. It is thereby proposed that the government shall further improve the financing mechanism of medical assistance funds, simplify the medical assistance procedures, and increase the publicity of medical assistance policies. Our study is expected to provide the governments with a decision-making reference when formulating and improving medical assistance policies.
