At the same time medical institutions are also very large, according to data released by the National Health Commission, the domestic health care institutions reached a staggering more than one million.
What's more worth mentioning is that among these one million medical institutions, urban primary medical institutions account for 90 percent of the total medical institutions, that is, we often see clinics, village health centers and urban and rural health centers, which greatly facilitates the general public's access to health care.
Rural health clinics are also the basic medical support system that the state vigorously develops and supports, and are formal medical institutions.
So most people will choose the nearest health center clinic to see a doctor when they are sick, unless it is a more serious disease will choose to go to a large hospital.
But with the passage of time, the village health room clinic frequently burst into chaos, and even appeared a number of medical accidents, become the focus of the public collection.
Recently there has been news that the state will carry out a large-scale rectification of the village health room, unqualified village health room will be cleaned out.
Is this news true, the future of the village health center where to go?
One, the village health clinic clinic medical disorder is frequent
For the village health room, we should not be strangers to it, is a lot of people headache and fever to see a doctor's first choice of place.
For one thing, the distance is close enough, and then the charges are not very expensive, compared to go to a large hospital to register to see a doctor more convenient.
However, there are advantages and disadvantages to everything, and it is true that it is convenient to see a doctor in a village health center street clinic to save money, but there are also great disadvantages.
1, the medical level is limited
Village health center medical facilities and the level of medical conditions is limited, not to say and big hospitals than, even the higher level of urban and rural health centers are not as good.
The village health center can only treat some simple fever and cold, headache and fever problems, more serious diseases with the village health center medical equipment can not find out the reason, and there will be misdiagnosis and other medical accidents.
2, the frequent occurrence of medical malpractice triggered social controversy
Recently there has been a report of a heart-wrenching news, a sixteen-year-old patient in the health center infusion results in death, his family will be the health center to court.
The court ruled that the clinic had failed to pay attention to the patient's past medical history and had not paid much attention to the patient's condition, causing the patient to miss out on the best treatment and leading to the tragedy.
And this is not the only case of medical malpractice caused by the clinic, which has jeopardized the lives and health of the general public, and has also had a great impact on the village health center.
On the one hand, more clinics that have not yet experienced medical accidents are more vigilant in their daily checkups and use of medicines for patients, paying great attention to the patients' past medical history, and trying to do their best not to misdiagnose or delay the patients' conditions.
On the other hand, the frequent occurrence of medical malpractice in village health centers has aroused public opinion.
Some people have slammed the medical ethics and skills of the doctors in these clinics as unprofessional and careless, giving people indiscriminate medication and infusions in their daily diagnosis.
There are even calls in the community to outlaw village health clinics and standardize the regulation of primary care in the country.
Second, the state out to rectify the village health room mess
Peasant farmers to see the doctor has always been the focus of the national collection, coupled with today's left-behind elderly left-behind children's increase in the existence of the village health room is also more and more important, so the village health room can not be banned casually.
But for the health room medical level is low, equipment is not perfect, prone to medical accidents, the state has also stepped up to its major overhaul, and identified the village health room three new rules.
1, the village health room doctors must have professional medical knowledge, and have the minimum standards of medical practice - licensed physician assistant qualification certificate of the regular physician.
2. In principle, administrative villages can only have one standardized health room handled by the government, and any surplus health rooms will face liquidation.
3. In principle, villages where health centers are located cannot have other village health centers.
From these three guidelines, we can see that the state is determined to overhaul village health centers.
First of all, the number of health centers has been greatly limited, and the supervision of health centers has been strengthened to avoid the chaos of too many health centers.
Secondly, the threshold of the village health center has been greatly improved, and the village doctors are more professional, all of them are certified physicians, and the level of medical care is higher, which reduces the medical tragedy to a certain extent.
It is thought that after the village health center is vigorously rectified, the health center chaos medical tragedy, as well as the tense doctor-patient relationship will be very good improvement.
Not only that, the village health office will also be more standardized standardization, primary health care level will also be greatly improved.
Summary:
Village health center is an irreplaceable presence in the primary health care system, so the village health center is imperative.
First of all, strict supervision and standardization of village health rooms to make them more standardized.
Secondly, the threshold of the village health center should be raised from rural doctors to licensed physicians.
Finally, clean up unregulated village health rooms that are not approved by the government, and village doctors who do not have assistant physician certificates, so as to provide better medical services to the people.
