Since January, village clinics have been closed, what is the reason?
Prior to this, the medical and public health work in the rural areas was still in a blank state, and the state proceeded from the rural areas to actively carry out the rural medical and public health work and establish and improve the grassroots health institutions, which is the focus of the current rural medical work.
After the fifties and sixties, China's medical care work has made new progress, during this period, China's first country has continuously invested in rural health, built many township health centers, rural clinics, and trained a large number of rural doctors.
Since the beginning of the 21 st century, as the state has continuously increased its investment in rural public health, township health work has gradually moved towards modernization, and township health work has become increasingly sound.
However, there have been rumors recently that the medical facilities in the village are closing
As far as the author knows, the complete closure of the village-level clinics is only a hypothesis, but in practice, this is not very likely, because the village-level clinics, as grassroots medical institutions, are the key to ensuring the basic health needs of the peasant masses and improving the health level of the peasants.
However, under certain circumstances, such as the policy adjustment of the relevant local authorities, the improper management of the village clinics, which has caused great problems, resulting in the temporary closure or banning of a number of village clinics.
The reason for the expiration of drugs in some township health centers is that expired drugs will lose their efficacy and even cause poisoning, and the drug management of rural health centers is also relatively lax, resulting in the expiration of drugs is more serious.
Rural clinics are generally relatively small and have relatively simple facilities, while large hospitals generally have various specialized clinics and operating rooms, and they are relatively well-equipped. However, large hospitals have a large number of large hospitals, and they often have to wait in long queues, which will affect their service quality and work efficiency. In contrast, clinics in rural areas tend to be quieter and have a more comfortable atmosphere, so doctors can spend more time communicating with patients. According to the survey, the total number of outpatient visits in township health centers is only 2,239 per year, that is, only 6 patients a day.
The author proposes that the medical cost of rural health centers is relatively low, which is suitable for the financial resources of rural households, and at the same time, a variety of policies, subsidies and other means will be adopted to reduce the economic pressure of rural households to see a doctor. On the other hand, through cooperation with county medical institutions, township health centers can realize referral and remote consultation to rural households.
It can be said that village-level clinics have brought convenient medical care to rural households, alleviated the contradiction of shortage of medical resources in rural areas of China, reduced the cost of medical treatment for rural households, and played an important role in ensuring the health of rural households.
