Topic: Health

Q: What is your opinion on the current problem in Shanghai hospitals where the is a long queue of people waiting for treatment and not a lot of people getting the help they need?

A: Yeah, it’s a serious problem. In Shanghai, I think the treatment technology than the tier 2 or 3 city hospitals. So everyone has some health problems so they want to go to the best hospital which is in Shanghai so the hospital’s capabilities are limited. This problem can be fixed by building more hospitals in small cities and train more skilled doctors and send it to every city.

Q: What do you do every day to maintain your health? What do you wish you can improve on?

A: From the diet. I don’t like to eat oily or heavy food. I also drink more water and do some exercise. I want to improve my mental health.

Q: How do you feel about the public health insurance that is given to Chinese citizens? What is a better way to ensure that all citizens get access to free or better health care?

If you don’t have a Shanghainese identity card and you want to see a doctor, you have to pay more. If you have the government insurance, then you only pay a little. It depends on the government.
