county-level governments. We will guarantee funding for temporary work
subsidies for medical workers and vaccination expenses, and appropriately extend
the policy on subsidizing Covid-19 treatment expenses, so that on top of basic

medical insurance, major disease insurance, and medical assistance schemes, the
government will provide extra subsidies for inpatient medical bills for treatment

administered according to Covid-19 diagnostic and therapeutic protocols. By doing
so, we will support the steady and orderly implementation of the policy of
managing Covid-19 with measures against Class B infectious diseases. We will

support the preservation and innovative development of traditional Chinese
medicine. We will increase government subsidies for basic medical insurance for

rural and non-working urban residents by 30 yuan per person, to 640 yuan per
person per year, while at the same time raising personal contributions.

Government subsidies for basic public health services will increase by 5 yuan per
person, reaching 89 yuan per person per year, and priority will be given to

supporting localities in enhancing such services for children and elderly people.
We will help strengthen the capacity of county-level public hospitals to spur the
county-level medical communities and village clinics to increase their service

capacity. We will facilitate disease prevention efforts. We will take steady and
well-ordered measures to deepen the reform of medical insurance payout models

and make progress in implementing unified management of basic medical
insurance at the provincial level.

We will improve the social security system. We will continue efforts to bring basic
old-age insurance funds for enterprise employees under unified national

management and appropriately raise basic pension benefits for retirees. The central
government and local governments must fulfill their respective expenditure
responsibilities to ensure that basic pension benefits are paid on time and in full.

Active steps will be taken to develop a personal pension system and an old-age
insurance system with multiple tiers and pillars. We will improve measures to

boost birth rates and fiscal policies in response to population aging. To improve
the basic eldercare system, we will back accelerated efforts to refine the framework

for providing home, community, and institution-based care that can meet different
medical and health care needs. We will allocate 156.7 billion yuan in aid subsidies
