北流县清湾公社从一九七五年开始,坚持个个大队办药场,大种中草药。全社十二个大队,据一九七七年底统计,共种中草药面积三百一十五亩五分,这年收入现金三万三千二百多元,平均每人九角二分。由于大种中草药,有效地解决了合作医疗的资金和药源问题,使合作医疗越办越好。 Beiliu County Qingwan Commune began in 1975 and insisted that all brigades set up medicine courts and use Chinese herbal medicine. According to statistics from the end of 1977, the twelve groups of the entire agency used a total of 151 acres of Chinese herbal medicines for five and a half cents. This year’s income was more than 33,200 yuan in cash, an average of 90 cents per person. Due to the large variety of Chinese herbal medicines, the problem of funding and drug sources for cooperative medical care is effectively solved, so that cooperative medical care can be better and better.
