Hospital closure and reorganization of relevant provisions

Legal Analysis

With the deepening development of health reform, the number of medical institutions run by the state, collectives and individuals has been increasing, which facilitates the public's access to medical care and eases the contradiction between the difficulty of seeing a doctor and the difficulty of being hospitalized. However, there are also lax approval of medical institutions, institutions set up in name only, chaotic management and the use of improper means to obtain illegal income and other problems. The existence and development of these problems have disrupted the medical order, affected the quality of medical care, jeopardized the interests of the State and the public, fostered a bad culture, and interfered with and hindered health reform. In order to govern the medical environment, rectify the medical order and ensure the healthy development of health reform, it is necessary to clean up and rectify all kinds of medical institutions.
