people with disabilities, and put in place a sound system for basic funeral
services. We must remain committed to the basic state policy of gender

equality and protect the legitimate rights and interests of women and children.
We should continue to improve services and support for ex-service members.
41. Promoting high-quality development in the real estate sector

We must work faster to cultivate a new development model for the real
estate sector and further improve foundational systems for the development,
financing, and sales of commodity housing. We should improve the supply of

government-subsidized housing to meet the basic housing needs of urban
salaried workers and families with difficulties. City-specific policies should be
adopted to increase supply to meet people’s needs for better housing. We

should build more houses that are safe, comfortable, eco-friendly, and smart
and carry out projects to improve housing quality and initiatives to improve
property services. A full life-cycle safety management system should be

introduced for housing.
42. Advancing the Healthy China Initiative
We should implement a health-first strategy, refine the framework of
policies and institutions for promoting people’s health, and deliver better

outcomes in patriotic health campaigns to raise the average life expectancy
and improve the people’s health. We should increase our public health

capacity, strengthen the disease control system, and effectively prevent and
control major infectious diseases.
We should improve the mechanisms for coordinated development and
governance of medical services, medical insurance, and pharmaceuticals and

promote tiered diagnosis and treatment. We should push ahead with reforms
related to the staffing, service charges, remuneration systems, and overall

regulation of public hospitals to ensure that they truly serve the public

county, district, and community-level medical institutions. We should refine
the functions and layout of medical institutions, launch initiatives to

strengthen community-level medical and health services, and harness digital
and intelligent technologies to improve the health of the entire nation.

We should strengthen comprehensive prevention and control of chronic
diseases and develop end-to-end services covering prevention, treatment,
rehabilitation, and health management. We should increase our overall
capacity in terms of emergency treatment, first aid, blood supply, and other

aspects of emergency response. Greater efforts should be made to ensure that
