Recently, the Blue Book on E-Government: China E-Government Development Report (2024), compiled under the guidance of the Party School of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (National Academy of Governance), was officially published. Longquan City’s innovative practice—“Zheli Rural Good Doctor”—was selected as one of the 16 outstanding cases nationwide.
In recent years, Longquan City has consistently prioritized safeguarding the health and well-being of its residents and has made every effort to advance comprehensive healthcare reform. As a result, the city’s healthcare system has seen rapid development. In 2022, to address the difficulty of accessing medical services in remote mountain villages, Longquan launched the “Zheli Rural Good Doctor” application scenario, establishing a three-tiered healthcare service model spanning county, township, and village levels. This effectively solved the “last mile” problem in delivering medical services to mountainous areas.
Focusing on the specific healthcare needs of residents in remote areas—especially those living without village doctors and managing chronic diseases—the “Zheli Rural Good Doctor” initiative developed four core service modules: early screening and prevention in mountainous areas, convenient diagnosis, intelligent medication delivery, and streamlined hospital admission. The initiative offers services such as precise health monitoring, remote consultations, smart medication distribution, and simplified hospital access. It also added health assistant positions and deployed intelligent medical devices to meet the health screening, consultation, and medication needs of elderly residents and disadvantaged groups who remain in the villages.
Since its expansion in 2023, the “Zheli Rural Good Doctor” application has created comprehensive personal health profiles and records for Longquan residents, providing round-the-clock healthcare services to those in remote areas. To date, the initiative has provided routine health monitoring for 6,482 villagers across 43 locations, totaling 93,543 monitoring sessions; 7,341 remote consultations; 437 mobile clinic visits into the mountains as needed; and 3,332 medicine delivery services.
This initiative has not only established a smart and efficient urban-rural integrated healthcare service system—one that blends medical treatment with disease prevention and aligns with high-quality development—but also produced a nationally recognized landmark achievement in “Smart Health for Common Prosperity”. It was named a 2023 exemplary case of comprehensive local reform in China and was selected as one of Zhejiang Province’s third batch of best practices for achieving common prosperity.
