SOLUTIONS TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF COMMUNITY HEALTHCARE FOR ETHNIC MINORITIES IN THE CURRENT PERIOD

Abstract

In recent years, the Party, State, and functional agencies at both central and local levels have consistently focused on, promulgated, and implemented numerous practical policies to improve the healthcare system and health services for ethnic minorities—a demographic group that traditionally faces significant challenges due to unique geographical, economic, and social conditions. Programs such as universal health insurance, medical examination and treatment support for the poor, training of ethnic minority healthcare workers, and the development of grassroots healthcare networks have significantly contributed to improving physical health, nutritional status, and reducing disease prevalence within ethnic minority communities. Following the article "Current Status of Community Healthcare for Ethnic Minorities" (published in the Journal of Ethnic Studies, Volume 12, Issue 2), this article further expands and supplements practical data, offering a deeper analysis of certain aspects not fully addressed previously. Simultaneously, the article proposes specific, feasible solutions aimed at enhancing the effectiveness, sustainability, and cultural appropriateness of community healthcare for ethnic minorities in the coming period.
