On January 31, a shocking ** went viral. **, Zhou Hongsheng, director of Luxinan Hospital, announced a hunger strike to express his guilt over unpaid wages. The hospital staff confirmed the authenticity of **, saying that employees have been owed wages for more than half a year, and some have left their jobs.
Luxinan Hospital, a private hospital located in Yanggu, Liaocheng, Shandong Province, was once a key construction project in Shandong Province and once carried the expectations of countless people. However, now it is in trouble due to financial problems, which affects the hearts of countless people.
According to Dean Zhou Hongsheng, there are currently as many as 601 employees in arrears, with a total salary arrears of more than 45 million. He said that the hospital was facing the dilemma of not being able to continue operating, and the medicines and medicinal materials were almost exhausted, and there was no way to treat the patients. All employees have not been paid wages for 8 months, and he can only go on a hunger strike to reduce the guilt of the employees who are not paid.
Employees also expressed their plight in this regard. An employee, who did not want to be named, said that the average employee owes more than 20,000 yuan in wages, and their family lives nearby, and they stay because they hope that the hospital will get better, and they feel that there is hope. However, faced with a long period of unpaid wages and the plight of hospitals, many employees have chosen to leave their jobs.
The Yanggu County Health Bureau responded to the matter. They said that Luxinan Hospital is a private hospital, and the arrears of wages involve the company's financial problems, which is an internal matter of the company, and the relevant departments are coordinating to deal with it.
As a designated hospital for medical insurance and work-related injury insurance in Liaocheng City, Luxinan Hospital should be a place to provide safe and convenient medical services. However, they are now in trouble due to financial problems, which not only cause trouble for employees, but also cause great inconvenience to the majority of patients.
We hope that the relevant departments can solve the problem of arrears of wages in Luxinan Hospital as soon as possible, so that the hospital can resume normal operations and continue to provide high-quality medical services to patients. At the same time, we also call on all sectors of society to pay attention to the survival plight of private hospitals and give them more support and help.
In this era of challenges and opportunities, private hospitals are playing an increasingly important role in providing medical services to the society. However, financial problems and policy support have always been the bottlenecks restricting the development of private hospitals. We hope that more supportive policies can be introduced to create a better environment for the development of private hospitals.
