1 General
1.1 Background of CURIP II
According to the Circular of National Development and Reform Commission on Approval of Establishing Pilot Area for National Urban-rural Integration Reform in Chongqing and Chengdu issued on June 7, 2007, Chongqing was approved as the pilot area for national urban-rural integration reform. On January 26, 2009, the General Office of the State Council issued the Opinions of the State Council on Promoting Chongqing Urban-rural Integration Reform and Development (GF [2009] No. 3).
Since the implementing of The World Bank Loan Chongqing Urban-Rural Interaction Project Phase I (CURIP I) which was started from June, 2009, great progresses have been made. However the CURIP I placed particular emphasis on the infrastructure facility improvements, migrant workers training and the basically medical and health service projects are only limited to the equipment procurement for Community Health Care System Development in Yubei District and Basic Capacity Building of Village Clinics and Medical Institutions in parts of counties. As the gradual deepening of the health care reform in Chongqing, the World Bank loan were actively required by the counties/ districts to improve medical and health service system and medical service conditions, so as to alleviate "the high cost of and difficult access to the medical service" and provide the best quality medical services for counties/ districts and township residents. In view of this, a World Bank project identification mission for candidate components identification to Chongqing for Chongqing Urban and Rural Integration Project Phase II (CURIP II) during July 10-19, 2011 and completed the site visits to all eight proposed physical components; The Bank’s project preparation mission was on a inspection for the preparation work of CURIP II during October 31, 2011 to November 4, 2011. CURIP II is an extension of CURIP I and focuses on the improvement of medical service system in district/county level.
1.1.1 Overview of Chongqing Municipality
Chongqing Municipality covers an area of 82,400 km² and has 38 administrative districts and counties (autonomous counties), including 19 districts of Wanzhou, Fuling, Yuzhong, Dadukou, Jiangbei, Shapingba, Jiulongpo, Nan’an, Beibei, Yubei, Banan, Qianjiang, Changshou, Jiangjin, Hechuan, Yongchuan and Nanchuan, Qijiang and Dazu, and 19 counties (autonomous counties) of Tongnan, Tongliang, Rongchang, Bishan, Liangping, Chengkou, Fengdu, Dianjiang, Wulong, Zhongxian, Kaixian, Yunyang, Fengjie, Wushan, Wuxi, Shizu Tujia Autonomous County, Xiushan Miao and Tujia Autonomous County, Youyang Tujia Autonomous County and Pengshui Miao and Tujia Autonomous County. Chongqing, taking the city proper as the core which is surrounded by the districts and counties (autonomous counties), forms an modern urban network with organic combination of large, medium and small sized cities. It is now the largest metropolis in China with most population and administration units.
Chongqing has a registered population of 33,034,500 (by the end of 2010). Most population is of Han Nationality. There are also 54 minority nationalities like Tujia Nationality and Miao Nationality with the population 21,964,500 in total.
1.1.2 Government Strategies for Urban and Rural Integration Development
The Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government of Chongqing put forward the development strategy of “One Circle and Two Wings” at 2007 economic work meeting, aiming at developing a economic circle centered on Chongqing’s city proper with a radius of one-hour 1
The World Bank Funded Chongqing Urban-Rural Integration Project Phase II (CURIP II) - Comprehensive EIA Report commuting distance (one circle), and accelerating the construction of the North East Chongqing centered on Wanzhou with the main body of the area of Three Gorges Reservoir and the poorer South East Chongqing centered on Qianjiang with ethnic minorities concentrating (two wings), in order to form a new pattern in which areas could realize balanced development and have complementary advantages. This strategy will help promote Chongqing to transfer from the pattern of “Large urban area leading large rural area” to “Urban-rural integration development and reform”, facilitate the establishment of economic growth pole in Western China in cooperation with Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Zone and narrow the gap between the rural and urban residents in terms of public goods such as education, culture, social security, health care and infrastructure etc.
In 2008, Chongqing Municipal Party Committee brought forward the idea of construction of “Five Chongqing” including Livable Chongqing, Green Chongqing, Smooth Chongqing, Healthy Chongqing and Safe Chongqing, which is a practical and new road for characteristic scientific development of Chongqing. One of the objectives of "The 12 th Five Year Planning” is to gradually narrow the three gaps between “rich and poor, rural and urban, and regional disparity”, aiming to reduce the income gap between rural and urban residents to 2.5:1, and GDP per capita between “One Circle and Two Wings” to around 2:1, and step by step to achieve the fairness of basic public service including medical treatment and public health.
1.1.3 Necessity of CURIP II
Following by the Chongqing Urban-rural Integration project I (CURIP I), the CURIP II Project mainly focuses on the improvement of county level medical service system of Chongqing, of which the key points are: to improve the facilities ability of medical institutions of eight poor districts in Chongqing, to improve service ability and medical level of the medical personnel, the hospital information system construction and remote diagnosis and treatment, institutional capacity strengthening and project management, etc.
Please see Fig. 1-1 for distribution of project hospitals in districts and counties.

Since Chongqing became municipality city, although many achievements of the social economic development have been obtained, Chongqing is still facing huge challenges. Due to the combination of big city, big rural area, big reservoir area, big mountain area and minority area, about 21 million rural people live mainly in rural areas, of which 16 counties each holds a population of over 800 thousand, and health resources excessive concentration in the downtown area, medical and health resources distribution and the masses demand is not harmonious, and the hospital facilities and ability in district/county is difficult to undertake its key role in three level health service network, the standardized hospital construction and ability together with performance requires to be improved.
Although financial expenditure of Chongqing increases year by year with increasing GDP, health spending in the share of fiscal expenditure has been falling with each passing year as it is shown in Figure 1-2. Financial input to medical and health care in district/county is seriously insufficient, and a large number of the limited medical resources (medical facilities, medical personnel) flown to the

The World Bank Funded Chongqing Urban-Rural Integration Project Phase II (CURIP II) - Comprehensive EIA Report municipal level-3 hospitals and hospitals in district/county are hard to develop. For more details, refer to Figure 1-3. The patients had to seek far to diagnosis in the big hospital because of the worry about the condition of wards and disease cure, which cause the problem of “high cost of and difficult access to the medical service”.

Women and children take two-thirds of the total population, to improve maternity and child care career is the important guarantee of people's living level development. As a part of public health, due to the weak infrastructure of women and children care center (station), human resources shortage in
4
The World Bank Funded Chongqing Urban-Rural Integration Project Phase II (CURIP II) - Comprehensive EIA Report quantity, unreasonable structure, low quality of professional qualities, government's input insufficient and limited compensation, maternity and child care unit hold a heavy self compensation proportion, prompted the expansion of paid service items, compressed free service items, thus appeared the situation of "small care, big clinical", "easy care, complicate clinical", which seriously deviated from the maternal and child health care working policy “care in center, reproductive health in purpose, combine with health care and clinical practice, and prevention first facing the basic-level crowd".
The main objective of the proposed project is to improve medical service system of the district/county level of Chongqing. Compared with the other public service sector, the district/county level medical service system is still a very weak link in Chongqing. Since the district/county level medical treatment institutions are key points in three level health service network (including rural health service agencies and township community medical service centre) and will play a leading role in the improvement of medical service, so the implementation of CURIP II is conducive to shorten the gap between urban and rural areas in Chongqing, improve the accessibility of public service ability and public service resources in district/county level.
To reflect the basic medical insurance and social justice, the people's hospital of district/county level, traditional Chinese medicine hospital and maternity and child health care hospitals are the key point of construction. At present, the State Health Department, Chongqing Municipal Government has decided to construct standardized people's hospital in district/county level.
One of the goals of the national 12 th Five Year Plan for economic and social development in Chongqing is: " Gradually narrowing three gaps (rich and poor, urban and rural, regional gap)", basically completed "Five Chongqing". Among them, the "Health Chongqing" goal means "public health indicator is higher than the national average level; health resources indicator reaches the national average level". One measure of the planning is to: complete medical and health service system, optimize the medical and health facilities system layout and carry out 3A-grade hospital construction. And one of the key projects for Health Chongqing of "12-5" plan is to construct "13 3A- grade hospitals in districts/counties, complete the task to reconstruct and upgrade the district/county level hospitals”. Therefore, the implementation of the CURIP is very necessary and timely.
1.1.4 EA Classification
Because the project are scattered in the big region, according to the field survey of the Bank’ EIA experts and CPMO together with EIA team, the project is generally located in urban built-up areas or planning zones for urban development, where the environment vulnerable areas, such as ecological sensitive impact that require special protection and social concern are not existent. In addition, the impact in terms of scale and range caused by medical waste water and medical waste, if they are well managed is not serious, and can be minimized or mitigated to an acceptable level. At the same time, the treated effluent from the proposed medical wastewater treatment stations and the medical waste to be generated from the project hospitals can be further treated or disposed by local facilities. The project has been classified into Category B of the World Bank.
