Starting next year, not only does it cost almost nothing to give birth to a baby nationwide, but the costs of painless delivery for expectant mothers are also expected to be covered by medical insurance reimbursement. The recently held National Health Insurance Work Conference required that, according to the affordability of health insurance funds, each province can include appropriate delivery pain relief programs in the scope of fund payments in accordance with procedures. In recent years, the National Health Insurance Administration has vigorously promoted the inclusion of analgesia during childbirth in medical insurance reimbursement to “reduce the burden and pain” for pregnant women. The reporter learned that currently Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangxi, Jilin, Shanghai and other provinces have implemented medical insurance for painless delivery, reducing the per capita burden by more than 1,000 yuan.
