Missions set in a three-year plan for China's healthcare reform program in the 2009-11 period have been completed on schedule, according to the Healthcare Reform Office of the State Council, China's cabinet.

The three-year plan missions included establishment of a basic medical care insurance system, implementation of the basic drug system and improvement of primary-level medical services.

Between 2009 and 2011, the Chinese Government invested 450.6 billion yuan ($70.83 billion) in the country's medical care services, the office said.

By the end of 2011, over 95 percent of the country's population were covered by basic medical care insurance programs designed for employees, urban residents and rural residents.

The annual government subsidy for urban and rural residents' insurance was increased from 80 yuan ($12.57) per person in 2008 to 200 yuan ($31.43) in 2011, and the sum will be raised to 240 yuan ($37.72) this year.

In the past three years, state investment in the construction and improvement of 33,000 primary-level hospitals totaled 63 billion yuan ($9.9 billion).

Furthermore, reform programs have been launched in more than 2,000 public hospitals across the country.
