What's the difference between the Health and Health Commission and the Health Planning Commission?

The differences between the Health and Wellness Committee and the Health Planning Commission are as follows:

1. The newly established National Health and Wellness Committee will include the tobacco control responsibilities of the former Health Planning Commission, the Office of the Medical Reform Group, the Office of the Committee on Aging, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the occupational safety and health responsibilities of the Work Safety Supervision Bureau.

2. The Ministry system can clarify the main body of responsibility, reduce the internal friction and resistance of medical reform, and coordinate more smoothly.

3. The new "Health Committee" has the characteristics of integrating functions, streamlining institutions, unifying powers and responsibilities, strengthening overall planning, reducing disputes and improving efficiency. Generally speaking, it has the characteristics of "unity", "combination", "clarity", "strength" and "simplicity" in institutions and responsibilities.

4. Changing "Health Planning Commission" into "Health and Wellness Commission" embodies that "health runs through all policies and health is integrated into all strategies", which is conducive to putting prevention first and promoting the construction of "healthy China".

The main duties of the National Health Commission are to formulate national health policies, coordinate and promote the deepening of the reform of the medical and health system, organize the formulation of the national basic drug system, supervise and manage public health, medical services and health emergencies, be responsible for family planning management and services, and formulate policies and measures to deal with the aging population and the combination of medical care and nursing.
