CCTV9英语新闻12月：流动人口卫生服务通报

Public health services for China’s mobile population have been the focus of the National Health and Family Planning Commission media briefing. Also addressed were the family planning policy violations¹ of film director Zhang Yimou.

Strengthening public health services for China’s mobile population is high on the agenda.

Figures cited at the briefing indicate the mobile population has reached 236 million.

A pilot program has been in place since October 2010, aiming to give this group equal rights and services as the locals.

More funding is to be allocated² in the future, as well setting up a health record registry for mobile residents living more than 6 months in a community.

More health education will be organized in places such as communities, factories, industrial enterprises, offices, and schools.

Free treatment will be offered for infectious diseases , such as AIDS and tuberculosis³.

Authorities will also strengthen health services for children and pregnant women in the floating group.

Another focus was proper medicine dosage.

Figures show more than 90-percent of the population do not take medicine as prescribed.

The issue of film director Zhang Yimou’s violations of family planning policy was raised. A government spokesman said authorities will handle the case in accordance with legal procedures.

"The Commission’s attitude towards family planning violations is consistent and clear. Every Chinese citizen should abide⁴ by and safeguard the laws and regulations." Yao Hongwen, spokesman for National Health & Family Planning Commission, said.

Yao Hongwen’s comment come in the wake of media reports that Zhang had fathered a total of seven children. He stressed that everyone is equal before the law, and no one is above it.

China’s family planning policy, which dates back to the 1970s, requires most urban couples to have one child and most rural couples to have two. The policy was recently relaxed, allowing couples to have two children if one of them is an only child.
