World Bank Loan Helps Improve Shanxi Rural Medicare Service

A public health program with an 18-million-US-dollar World Bank loan has helped improve medical care service for 18.2 million rural residents in north China's Shanxi Province, or half of its rural population.

The project, with a total investment of 230 million yuan (about 27.6 million US dollars), has been the province's largest rural public health program in the past five decades. Since its implementation in 1993, it has provided practical medical training programs for over 63,000 local medicare staff, and it has nurtured surgeons for 820 villages.

The poverty-hit mountainous villages in Shanxi used to have no public health care service for the villagers, which had resulted in the spread of infections diseases among farmers and worsened their living conditions.
