It requires that by 2025, 70 county-level regions in the 15 cities will have basically built targeted, collaborated, high-quality and effective medical community.   

Besides, in most counties, 85 percent of the patients who need in-patient care will have been treated in local hospitals. 

By then, a hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system will have been basically formed. 

Notably, by 2023, in the county-level medical community, examination results will have been mutually recognized.
