Patients are grounded and hospitals are closed. The medical industry will be adversely affected by the epidemic in the first quarter and even the second quarter. But the medical industry is also slightly different from other industries, medical demand as a rigid demand, in the long run, the epidemic will only lead to a lag in the release of demand time, the total annual demand is not much impact. It is expected that the impact of the annual performance of the medical industry is limited.
But the epidemic has sounded the alarm of our public **** health system. China's existing public **** health system is very poor, not enough to protect the safety of people's lives and health, and the country's achievements in economic construction. For this reason, the Central Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reform held its 12th meeting on February 14, explicitly calling for the improvement of the multi-level public **** health service system and optimization of the structure of medical and health resource inputs. The meeting, which pointed the way for the future development of the medical industry, had a far-reaching impact on the industry.
First, with a trillion-dollar market of Chinese medicine will usher in a period of rapid development. This outbreak, Wuhan Jiangxia square cabin hospital is a centralized isolation treatment of designated hospitals, to take the means of treatment is Chinese medicine integrated treatment. Hospital admitted 564 patients, cured 392 people, the cure rate of nearly 70%. As a means of healing, Chinese medicine has fully demonstrated its effectiveness and value to the world. The support of the state and the trust of the people of the country, I believe that Chinese medicine will usher in the next spring.
Second, the training of general practitioners and the implementation of hierarchical diagnosis and treatment will have a profound impact on the entire medical industry. General practitioners, meaning that medical institutions need to invest more in the training and introduction of talent; hierarchical diagnosis and treatment, prompting medical institutions to upgrade their management, equipment upgrading. The previous sloppy business behavior will constrain the operation and development of the enterprise.
Third, the acceleration of online consumption makes the medical institutions in the remote treatment, online drug sales network construction on the quality and speed. Maybe it won't take long for doctors to ask for advice and prescriptions online to become a reality.
In short, the epidemic will have an impact on the healthcare industry at the moment; however, in the long run, there will be more positive impacts.
