BEIJING: The Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao stressed on Sunday that the final ends of the nation's economic growth is to improve people's well-being, which is a priority on the government's agenda amid the global financial crisis.

Despite the tight fiscal condition, China beefed up the income and welfare enjoyed by the retirees and low-income residents, and unveiled the significant health-care reform in 2008, Wen told Xinhua in an exclusive interview.

"We will overcome every difficulty to well implement the health-care reform which has close bearing on people's health," he said.
