As of September this year, the hospitalization fund for youth will cover all the city's young people, including the city's thousands of disabled youngsters who haven't yet entered school, the Shanghai Red Cross Society reported yesterday.
By the end of August last year, a total of 410 million yuan (US$49 million) in medical costs had been appropriated from the fund for more than 558,000 sick children. Since last September, the offspring of migrant workers meeting certain requirements have been included in the fund.
Yesterday, nearly 70,000 local high school graduates received souvenir fund cards from the fund office.
