积极稳妥地推行农村合作医疗制度,是现阶段解决农村人民群众“因病致贫、因病返贫”的一项重大举措,是适应农村经济体制改革的变化和卫生体制改革的现实需要。如何开展农村合作医疗,实行何种合作医疗模式,必须以人民群众的医疗消费水平为基础。为了把我市的农村合作医疗制度引向深入,我们于1999年初开展了对1998年农村人民群众医疗消费水平及合作医疗有关情况的调查,现将调查的结果报告如下。1 材料与方法 Actively and steadily implementing the rural cooperative medical system is a major measure to address the rural people’s “due to poverty due to illness and return to poverty due to illness”. It is a practical need to adapt to changes in the reform of the rural economic system and the reform of the health system. How to develop cooperative medical care in rural areas and what kind of cooperative medical care model is implemented must be based on the level of medical consumption of the people.

The results of the investigation are reported below. 1 Materials and Methods
