The National Health Commission said China will roll out large-scale vocational
skills training to strengthen the health-sector workforce. Aligned with a State
Council vocational skills upgrade initiative and the Ministry of Human Resources
and Social Security and Ministry of Finance 'Skills Light the Future'
requirements, the National Health Commission and the Ministry of Human Resources
and Social Security have issued implementation plans for four targeted
programmes: medical nursing staff, emergency medical responders, 12356
mental‑health hotline counselors, and childcare-service vocational upskilling.
Local governments are required to implement the plans.
