卫生部规划财务司副司长于德志说,我国卫生总费用存在着明显的结构不合理问题。随着经济社会的发展,我国卫生总费用在不断增长,可是政府预算卫生支出、社会卫生支出所占的比重没有相应的增加,反而呈现下降趋势；与此同时, 城乡居民私人支出比例不断扩大。根据2002年世界卫生组织 (WHO)统计显示,我国的人均政府卫生支出水平在191个成员国中排名131位,而居民个人卫生支出所占比重竟高居第 15位。 Yu Dezhi, deputy director of the Planning and Finance Department of the Ministry of Health, said that there is a clear structural irrationality in China’s total health expenditure. With the development of economy and society, the total cost of health care in our country is constantly increasing. However, the share of government budget expenditure on health and social health does not increase correspondingly, but on the contrary, it shows a downward trend. At the same time, the proportion of private expenditure on urban and rural residents is constantly expanding. According to the statistics of the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2002, the per capita level of government expenditure on health in China ranks 131 among 191 member countries, while the proportion of residents’ personal health expenditures actually ranks 15th.
