党的十七大报告提出要建立基本医疗卫生制度,提高全民健康水平。如今完善国民健康政策,为群众提供安全、有效、方便、价廉的医疗卫生服务已成为政府的一个工作重心。上海市是我国内地最早进入老龄化的地区,也是我国社区卫生服务发展较早的地区,就上海市老年人的社区卫生服务进行研究具有重大的理论意义和实践意义。 The report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China set forth the need to establish a basic medical and health system and improve the health of all people. At present, improving the national health policy and providing the people with safe, effective, convenient and affordable medical and health services has become a major task of the government. Shanghai is one of the earliest aged areas in mainland China and also the area where community health services developed earlier in our country. It is of great theoretical and practical significance to study the community health services for the elderly in Shanghai.
