Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.
The objective of this project is to improve the quality of healthcare services and the efficiency of the healthcare delivery systems in Anhui and Fujian provinces. The objectives will be achieved by supporting key areas of the health reform Masterplans in the two provinces - namely those focused on comprehensive public hospital reform and the implementation of a People Centered Integrated Care (PCIC) based service delivery system with strengthened primary care - in both urban and rural areas across the two provinces. The World Bank’s Program will include support for the management of policy reform, strengthening of service delivery capacity, transforming service model, enhancing health human resources and critical information technology (IT) infrastructure development. Result Area 1: Reforming public hospitals with the aim of improving the quality and efficiency of hospitals services. (i) Proportion of discharged patients for whom county-level public general hospitals and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) hospitals are paid through case-based payment; (ii) Proportion of inpatients to be treated through the use of standardized clinical pathways at county level public general hospitals. Result Area 2: Establishing effective and accountable PCIC based service delivery system with strengthened primary healthcare services. (i) Proportion of outpatient care delivered by primary care facilities; and (ii) Number of prefectures that manage Type II diabetes patients using the integrated NCD service package. The PforR is expected to bring about positive environmental, social and health benefits in terms of providing improved health services to the public and communities, particularly in rural poor areas. Along with these, it is expected that standardized hospital management practices for medical waste, occupational safety and health, and that the collection and transportation of medical wastes in rural areas will be improved. ii. Nonetheless, some of the activities supported under the PforR have potential negative impacts and risks. Medical waste management and radiation risks are considered the main issues from environment, health and safety perspective. This Environment and Social Systems Assessment (ESSA), prepared by the Bank team, provides a comprehensive review of relevant environmental and social management systems and procedures in China and the two provinces, identify the extent to which the country/local systems are consistent with PforR Bank Policy, and Directive, and recommend necessary actions to address potential gaps as well as opportunities to enhance performance during the PforR implementation.
