to effectively prevent the spread of infectious diseases. We will move faster to
improve medical, sanitation, and environmental infrastructure and lose no time in

shoring up weaknesses and shortcomings, in order to build up our medical,
sanitary, and environmental foundations for responding to major epidemics.
4) We will make solid progress in the Healthy China Initiative.
We will strengthen our multi-tiered medical and health architecture under
which patients receive treatments in hospitals of different levels according to their

different conditions, and we will develop our three-tiered medical and health
service network in which public medical institutions are the mainstay. We will
further reform the medical and health systems. We will advance the construction
of national medical research centers, complete plans for the nationwide

distribution of national-level regional medical centers, and continue developing
provincial-level regional medical centers in an orderly manner. We will enhance
our community-level medical and health service capacity through multiple
methods including integrating county-wide medical resources. We will advance
the construction of major projects for the preservation and innovative development

of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), including national centers for TCM
preservation and innovation, national TCM centers for epidemic prevention and
treatment, flagship hospitals integrating TCM and Western medicine, and key
TCM hospitals. Capacity building for mental and psychological health will be

strengthened.
2. Expanding domestic demand and giving full play to the fundamental role of
consumption and the key role of investment
We will remain steadfast in pursuing the strategy of expanding domestic
demand, deepen supply-side structural reform, and create effective demand
through high-quality supply. We will see that domestic demand plays a bigger role

in driving economic growth, and we will create a stronger domestic market.
1) We will introduce a full range of measures to unlock consumption potential.
We will give priority to rehabilitating and expanding consumption and
endeavor to increase people’s spending power, improve the consumption

environment, and create new consumption scenarios. To embrace the trend of
consumption upgrading, we will foster a well-structured, high-quality supply
system for consumption that offers abundant choices and superb products. We will
continue to elevate conventional consumption, incubate new types of consumption,
and grow areas of strong consumer spending.
