Tibet plans to build nursing homes for monks and nuns inside large monasteries.
Nursing homes will be set up in 45 monasteries with more than 100 clergy each in southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region, Be Tsering, deputy director of the region's religious affairs office, told a press conference.
There are more than 46,000 monks and nuns in over 1,700 temples in Tibet.
The regional government contributes 26 million yuan (4.24 million U.S. dollars) annually for the health insurance, pensions and accident insurance of monks and nuns, and offers a free medical checkup every year.
