Abstract:

Objective To conduct a pilot research on health care policy for pregnant women in floating population, and explore the means to solve the health service dilemma. Methods The health care policy for pregnant women in floating population in Jiading District which included prenatal examination (three times, 150 RMB) and spontaneous labor (24 h, 800 RMB) was studied. Based on literature analysis and expert interview, system dynamic modeling was applied, and simulation on health care policy for pregnant women in floating population between 2004 and 2014 was conducted. Results The increase in number of pregnant women in floating population from 2004 to 2008 in Jiading District drawn by system dynamic modeling was in line with the data from Jiading District Health Bureau. Simulation on health care policy for pregnant women in floating population between 2004 and 2014 demonstrated that the number of pregnant women in floating population would decrease to 40% of natural population increase if the amount of subsidy was adjusted, and the balance subsidy was 170 RMB. Conclusion Balance subsidy in health care policy for pregnant women in floating population should be gradually reached for the sake of health service development and increase in number of pregnant women in floating population.

Key words: pregnant women in floating population, dynamic modeling, policy simulation
