China's 80% of medical resources are concentrated in 20% of the big cities, the people to see a doctor are concentrated in large hospitals, resulting in a long waiting time to see a doctor, hospital beds are in short supply. Improve the community medical network, so that the masses of small diseases into the community, the big disease into the hospital is to solve China's difficult to see a doctor, one of the main means of expensive. Major illnesses into the hospital, minor illnesses into the community is a more reasonable way of allocating medical resources, community medical institutions will become the main body of preventive health care, basic medical care, health education, disease control and other community health services.
"China's community healthcare industry market outlook and investment strategy planning analysis report outlook" shows that China's community healthcare services are still in its infancy. 2009, the national community health service centers and service stations accounted for only 2.98% of the total number of health institutions, and their health technicians accounted for only 4.52% of the total number of health technicians. There is still much room for improvement in the human resource situation of community medical institutions.
There is still a big gap between community medical institutions and large hospitals in terms of facilities, diagnosis and treatment level and other objective conditions. Some community medical institutions lack of hardware, obsolete equipment, and even the external environment is too poor to affect the confidence of the residents to visit the hospital, and many community medical institutions have a single business, low level of technology, and a general lack of general practitioners and senior personnel.
But the role of the community health care institutions themselves and the current status of the development of community health care institutions in China, so that our country had to pay attention to the role of community health care, especially the new health care policy is the community health care in the first place, for the construction of community health care to gradually increase support. The development of community health services, whether it is the first system or referral system of exploration, must have excellent medical services as a backing, it is imperative to improve the level of community health services, vigorously publicize the purpose and content of community health services, so that community residents feel the benefits of community health services and continuity of service benefits, and through policy guidance, and gradually change the concept of the residents.
