Introduction

ߡ= 1;绍=

1. The Singaporean community in Fujian is building a public healthcare polyclinic in Xiamen<= /st1:City> which is the first in China modelled on Singapore government's polyclinic and the first community service project funded by Singaporeans and the Xiamen municipal government.

在闽的Ą= 32;加坡团体正在厦门建= 一座社区医疗服务中= 4515;. 这是中Þ= 69;首个以新加坡综合诊= 疗所为模式的社区医= 0103;服务中心, 也是首È= 10;由旅居福建的新加坡= 人和福建省厦门市政= 4220;共同合作建设的社ࡒ= 6;服务项目.

2. The new polyclinic in = Xiamen is modelled after Singapore's government polylinic in terms of design and management. It aims to be a learning model for public healthcare reforms in China.

新的社Õ= 06;医疗服务中心将参照= 新加坡政府综合诊疗= 5152;的设计和管理模式, 并希望Ŋ= 21;成为中国社区医疗服= 务中心的典范.

3. For a start, the polyclinic, to be sited on a 2000-sq-m plot, will have 30 consultat= ion rooms and the capacity to treat 500 patients a day. At the beginning, it is expected t= o be manned by 30 doctors and 25 nurses.

该社区Õ= 07;疗服务中心占地2000平方米, 设诊疗ê= 60;30间, 每天能ÿ= 09;待病人500位. 中心最Ò= 21;配备医生30名, 护士25名.

Background

ೡ= 2;景=

1&nb= sp; = Singapore and Fujian have a special relationship roo= ted in ancestral linkages. This is an integral part of the special relations betwe= en Singapore and China.

新加坡和&#= 31119;建有着悠久的渊源. 这种渊源是构成= 新加坡与中国特殊关= 1995;不可欠缺的一个环഍= 0;.

2&nb= sp; = Singaporeans were also among the earliest overseas Chinese contributing to a great numbe= r of charity projects in Fujian, especially in the 1980s. These ranged from education and medical services t= o infrastructure. As a result, a deep pool of goodwill exists in many parts of Fujian where Singaporeans have made contributions.

早在二十&#= 19990;纪八十年代, 闽籍新加坡人便= 在福建捐资兴学, 建设医疗服务设= 施及基础设施, 成为最早进入福= 建兴办公益事业的海= 2806;华人群体之一. 闽籍新加坡人对= 福建经济发展做出的= 6129;献, 使他们在福建各= 地都能感受到浓浓的= 1892;意.

3&nb= sp; = Nevertheless, many of these projects were individual-based, and few of the future generat= ions of Singaporeans followed up on or tapped the accumulated beneficence. Generational change in the Chinese leadership at all levels may also erode = the goodwill that had been cultivated through our forefathers’ many significant contributions. Already, some of these benevolent acts are gradu= ally being forgotten by younger generations in both Singapore and China.

然而, 由于多数慈善项= 目都是个人行为, 后代没有很好地= 延续或利用祖辈累积= 9979;来的良好声誉, 且随着中国从中= 央到地方各级领导层= 0340;更新换代, 先辈们的卓越贡= 献已经逐渐被两国的= 6032;一代所淡忘, 甚至完全遗忘<= span style=3D'mso-bidi-font-size:14.0pt'>.

Purpose

௤= 6;的=

1&nb= sp; = Against this backdrop, in early 2008, FujianR= 17;s Singaporean community first hatched the idea of collectively raising funds = for a significant charity project in Fujian.

在此大背&#= 26223;下, 旅居福建的新加= 坡人和团体于2008年初, 开始酝酿在福建推Ŝ= 92;一个较大型的慈善项= 目.

2&nb= sp; = The project is to be visible, symbolically enduring, as well as physically and operationally lasting. It will bear the name of Singapore and thus fly the Singapore flag high in Fujian. By registering the present generation’s collective philanthropic effo= rts, it is hoped that the project will also help raise awareness of the solid rapport between Fujian and Singapore, inspire younger generations of = both sides, and help preserve the special connection between Fujian and Singapore for at least the next few generations.

这个项目&#= 23558;以新加坡的名义推Ŝ= 92;, 不仅能引起关注= , 且能长期运作<= span style=3D'mso-bidi-font-size:14.0pt'>, 以此提升新加坡= 在福建的形象. 我们希望通过这= 种形式, 延续当代闽籍新= 加坡人与祖籍地的渊= 8304;和感情纽带, 提高和激发新加= 坡和福建年轻一代对= 0004;地的相互认识和兴ษ= 9;.

Choice of Charity Project

঺= 4;善项目的选择=

1&nb= sp; After several consultations with the Singapore Consulate-General in Xiamen as well as the relevant Fujian authoriti= es, the Singaporean community in Fujian form= ed the initial view that a polyclinic, based on the Singapore model, in Xiamen would be the most worthwhile charity project.

新加坡驻&#= 21414;门总领事馆及福建İ= 65;相关部门多次商议之= 后, 在福建的新加坡团体有了= 初步的构想, 即在厦门兴建一= 所新加坡模式的社区= 1307;疗服务中心.

2&nb= sp; First, of all the cities in= Fujian, Xiamen has= the highest concentration of Singaporeans and Singapore companies. Xiamen is also the most forward-looking city in Fujian. Besides,= Xiamen as a Specia= l Economic Zone has full autonomy in budgetary and many other policies. These factors could help ensure the lasting success of our charity project. Second, public healthcare reform is currently one major daunting task for the Fujian government, and Singapore serves as a relevant model for Fujian in this regard. It is hoped t= hat the success of the proposed polyclinic in Xiamen would be replicated by the Fu= jian government in other parts of the province. This will also help expand and deepen goodwill for Singapore in Fujian.

首先, 在福建所有城市= 当中, 厦门是新加坡人= /新加坡企业最集= 中的城市, 也是最有前瞻性= 的城市. 厦门作为经济特= 区, 在财政预算及其= 他政策上享有自主权. 这些都是这个慈= 善项目长期成功运作= 0340;保障. 其次, 医疗卫生改革是= 福建目前面临的主要= 3392;巨任务, 在这点上新加坡= 可为福建树立典范. 在闽新加坡团体= 希望通过该项目在厦= 8376;的成功推行, 将这种模式推广= 到福建省的其他地区, 造福广大民众<= span style=3D'mso-bidi-font-size:14.0pt'>, 同时也提高新加= 坡在福建的声誉.

Partnering the Xiamen Government

ߎ= 2;厦门市政府合作=

1 = ; Fujian’s Singaporean community recognises that the full support, and even partnership, of the Xiamen municipal government will be crucial to the long-term sustainability of the project. = At the request of the Singaporean community, the Singapore Consulate-General in Xiamen acted on its b= ehalf and held several rounds of formal discussions with both the Xiamen municipal and the Fujian provincial government. The Fu= jian provincial government gave its full blessings f= or the project.

在福建的&#= 26032;加坡团体意识到与Ö= 14;门市政府建立平等合= 作关系及得到厦门市= 5919;府的支持, 对于这个慈善项= 目的长期顺利运行至= 0851;重要. 获在闽的新加坡= 团体委托, 新加坡驻厦门总= 领事馆与厦门市政府= 1450;福建省政府进行了ࣩ= 0;次正式会谈. 福建省政府表示= 支持该项目.

2&nb= sp; After months of discussions, the Singapore Consulate-General in Xiamen reached a broad agreement with the Xiamen municipal government on an unprecedented model of cooperation on a charity project in China as follows:

经过数月&#= 30340;友好磋商, 新加坡驻厦门总= 领事馆与厦门市人民= 5919;府达成初步共识:

(1) The Xiamen government = will provide a plot of land of about 2,000 sq m in size to site the proposed polyclinic.

厦门市将提供一= 块面积为2000平方米的地块<= span style=3D'mso-bidi-font-size:14.0pt'>, 作为新加坡模式= 社区医疗服务中心的建设用地.

(2) The Xiamen government = will provide from its budget an amount of money equal to the total amount raised= by the Singaporean community for the polyclinic project. In particular, each s= ide will cover half the costs of construction, installation and medical equipme= nt purchases.

厦门市政府将根= 据新加坡团体捐款数= 9069;, 从财政中拨出对= 等的款项支持该项目. 双方将在中心大= 楼建设、内部装修和= 6141;买医疗器械设备上ࡦ= 8;出一半的费用.

(3) The polyclinic’s property and management rights will belong to = the Xiamen government.

社区医疗服务中= 心建成后, 产权和管理权归= 厦门市政府所有.

(4)&= nbsp; A Joint= Committee has been set up to oversee the long-term success of the project. The Joint Committee comprises a Xiamen leader and the Singapore Consul-General as advisers, as well as Xiamen officials, and representatives from Singaporean community, as members.

为了监督和确保= 该项目的长期顺利运= 0316;, 已成立联合委员= 会. 联合委员会的顾= 问由厦门市领导和新= 1152;坡驻厦门总领事出ߥ= 9;, 成员包括厦门市= 相关政府部门领导和= 6032;加坡团体代表.

(5)&= nbsp; The polyclinic is to be built, based on the Singapore model. Apart from being a fully operational medical facility in serving the local residents of a part= icular Xiamen district, it will concurrently function as a demonstrative learning = site in the public healthcare reform in Xiamen/Fujian. It could also be the cent= re of exchange with Singapore’s medical professionals.

该项目将参照新= 加坡社区综合诊疗所= 4314;造. 除作为一个设备= 齐全的社区医疗服务= 0013;心用于服务厦门民ߨ= 7;外, 该项目也将同时= 成为厦门/福建医疗卫生改= 革的典范,并成为与新加坡= 医疗专家长期交流的= 0013;心.

(6) The polyclinic will be= named the “Fujian (Xiamen)-Singapore Friendship Polyclinic”.

该项目拟命名为= "福建(厦门)-新加= 坡友好医疗服务中心".

Enhancing Sustainability

提高项目的可持= 续性

1&nb= sp; = Fujian’s Singaporean community is currently raising funds both in Singapore and Fuji= an, targeting S$3m. (This does not include the Xiamen municipal government’s contribution to the project.) Any amount raised in excess of that needed for construction, installation and equipment purchases, will be used to facilit= ate healthcare exchanges between Singapore and Fujian, including training assistance. The Singaporean community has support from a= ll organisations and individuals in Singapore<= /st1:country-region> that have interests in Fujian or have sp= ecial ties with Fujian<= /st1:place>. The objective is to include as many names as possible of relevant Singapore individuals and organisations on the donors’ plaque to be erected lat= er at the polyclinic. The plaque will be an important record of the present generation’s collective philanthropic effort, significant evidence of= the continuing special connection between Fujian and Singapore, as well as an important reminder of such ties for future generations of both sides.

在福建的&#= 26032;加坡团体正在新加ß= 69;和福建筹款, 计划筹资新币<= span style=3D'mso-bidi-font-size:14.0pt'>300万元(不包= 括厦门市政府的对等= 6164;金支持). 多出的捐款将用= 于今后新加坡和福建= 0043;间的各项医疗交流૬= 3;动, 包括协助培训福= 建的医护人员. 新加坡团体也得= 到新加坡方面与福建= 6377;关联的团体和个人௚= 0;支持. 其目的是为了将= 更多新加坡相关团体= 1644;个人捐款者的名字, 刻在社区医疗服= 务中心内的芳名榜上. 这个芳名榜将记= 录当代新加坡的集体= 4904;善贡献, 体现福建和新加= 坡特殊渊源的延续, 也将提醒福建和= 新加坡的后代两地的= 8145;厚渊源. = ;
