Recently, the Sixth Cross-Strait Social Security Forum was held in Xiamen, with more than 150 experts and scholars from more than 60 universities, scientific research institutes, journal editorial offices and medical institutions on both sides of the strait attending the meeting, jointly improving the social security system for the well-being of compatriots on both sides of the strait.
This forum is sponsored by the Chinese Social Security Association and the Collaborative Innovation Center for Peaceful Development, and undertaken by the Taiwan Research Institute of Xiamen University.
Gao Herong, an expert member of the Collaborative Innovation Center for Peace and Development and a professor at Xiamen University, said that if the Xiamen-Jin medical insurance system can be connected in the future, the people of Kinmen County can seek medical treatment and purchase drugs in designated hospitals or pharmacies in Xiamen with their health insurance cards, and Xiamen residents can also enjoy medical insurance compensation in Kinmen with their medical insurance cards. To achieve such a connection, it is necessary to further explore matters such as the level of inpatient care charges in the two places, and formulate standards that are recognized by the people of both places. In addition, employment subsidies and resettlement policies are also the direction and focus of efforts.
He believes that the two places have their own advantages, Kinmen's advantage is that the population is small, and the winery is the pillar of the industry, the pressure on public financial expenditure for the elderly is not very large, and the social security system is relatively perfect. However, the small population also makes Kinmen's medical conditions unable to keep up, and it must rely on Xiamen, the closest to Kinmen. Xiamen is a relatively large economically developed city with good medical conditions and can provide services to the people of Kinmen.
He also said that in addition to the promotion of the academic community, it is also necessary to provide more important and direct support from enterprises, enterprises and social organizations, and explore the formation of a system that is more recognized by everyone.

It is understood that the Cross-Strait Social Security Forum has been held for six sessions since 2015, and well-known experts and scholars in the field of social security on both sides of the strait have been invited to participate, including about 240 experts and scholars from Taiwan.
The forum mainly focused on the field of people's livelihood and studied how to form a social security system that is mutually recognized by the people on both sides of the strait.
Next, through this platform, we will further deepen our research and explore the grafting of cross-strait pension and medical care systems, eliminate obstacles to exchanges between people on both sides of the strait, and consolidate the social foundation for cross-strait integration and development.
