Japanese writer Toyoko Yamasaki has a medical work "White Pagoda", which has been adapted into a TV series by China, Japan and South Korea, which is a classic. The white giant tower in the work symbolizes the ideal medical system in the hero's heart.
In reality, Japan's medical system can also be described as a white giant tower, and its medical level, efficiency and fairness are among the highest in the world. This article will show you what is good about Japan's medical system.
The longest-lived country
According to the latest data from the World Health Organization, the average life expectancy of Japanese people is as high as 84 years, ranking first in the world for many years. Japanese people not only have the highest life expectancy in the world, but also have the lowest neonatal mortality rate, which is inseparable from Japan's advanced medical level. At present, the main causes of death in Japan are cancer and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In addition, suicide is also a major cause of death in Japan.
High quality life
Japanese people live long not only because their diseases can be cured, but also because their daily life management is in place. From 65438 to 0978, Japan began to carry out the national health campaign, encouraging the elderly to do longevity exercise, light diet and regular physical examination. High-quality air and scientific and reasonable diet also reduce the risk of illness.
National health insurance
Japan began to implement the national insurance system from 196 1, and medical insurance has covered all citizens. Thanks to this system, Japan's medical burden is very small, and many diseases can be found and treated at an early stage, eliminating the high treatment costs after the illness worsens.
Free medical service
In Japan, the proportion of public medical care is as high as 80%. From a global perspective, only Nordic welfare countries such as Denmark and Sweden and Britain can reach this level.
joint public-private operation/ownership
Most European countries adopt public medical system, which is inefficient; The United States is completely privatized. Although the medical level is high, the poor can't afford it. Japan is somewhere in between. Medical services are provided by the people and medical expenses are borne by the government, which not only ensures efficiency, but also solves the problems of difficult and expensive medical treatment.
Ziyoukai clinic
Japan implements a free medical practice system and encourages licensed doctors to practice medicine freely. Thanks to this system, there are a large number of small clinics all over Japan. Residents can see a doctor nearby at ordinary times and refer to a big hospital when necessary, instead of going to a top three hospital in a big city like China people. Moreover, the authority of doctors in small clinics in Japan is no less than that of big hospitals, and many of them are old doctors from big hospitals.
medical service
Medical care is also a service industry. The quality of medical experience depends not only on the medical level, but also on the attitude of medical staff. This is what Japan has done quite satisfactorily. Japan's service industry has always been famous for its respectful attitude, and the service attitude of medical staff is no exception. Japanese medical staff use honorific words for patients, and it is taken for granted that doctors patiently and meticulously explain the illness and cause to patients.
Full escort
Japan has a population of 654.38+0.26 billion, but the number of hospital beds per capita is the highest in the world. Unlike China, patients in general wards don't have to pay hospitalization fees. Nurses are responsible for nursing, but also accompany and take care of patients. Nurses send three meals a day to patients' bedside, and it is no problem to be hospitalized without family members.
Separation of dispensing and prescription
Japan implements the system of separation of medicine. Except for injections that need to be injected on the spot, the hospital does not sell medicines, and there will be no pharmacy in the hospital. The doctor just writes a prescription, and the patient can take the prescription to the outside pharmacy to buy medicine. This system effectively reduces the over-treatment of doctors. It is also commendable that there is at least one pharmacy next to almost every hospital in Japan, so patients don't have to travel long distances to take a taxi or squeeze the subway to buy medicine.
Drug quality
There are two kinds of pharmacies in Japan, one is a pharmacy selling prescription drugs, and the other is a pharmacy similar to a convenience store, selling over-the-counter drugs, toothpaste, eye drops and other daily health care products. Drugs from different pharmaceutical companies compete openly in the market, ensuring the relative stability of drug quality and drug price. Therefore, there will be a "strange" phenomenon that Japanese tourists visiting China go to Japanese drugstores to buy eye drops, anti-inflammatory drugs to relieve colds, toothpaste mouthwash and so on.
Many health products
Japanese people attach great importance to health and quality of life, so there are many health-related inventions. For example, it originated in Japan, which can effectively reduce anorectal diseases, and warm the baby to relieve dysmenorrhea in women. It is also an important reason why Japanese people live longer.
Chengxin medical treatment
This scene in the picture is invisible in Japan. In Japan, you don't need to pay a deposit before seeing a doctor, and you don't need to queue up in the maze for many times. After all examination and treatment are completed, the hospital will issue a complete bill to the patient, including registration fee, examination fee and treatment fee. The phenomenon of patients' families running around to pay fees is almost invisible in Japan.
Careful and meticulous
The Japanese have always been famous for their meticulousness. Many people who have received medical services in Japan will be deeply impressed by their meticulous care. For example, to measure blood pressure, not just one arm, but four pairs of high and low pressure in limbs; There are also different physical examination items for people of different ages and so on.
Respected
Doctors are a very respected profession in Japan, and they are called "teachers" like parliamentarians and lawyers. However, becoming a doctor is not easy. Japan's university medical school has a six-year academic system, and students must practice in the hospital for two years after graduation. During the internship, the annual income is less than 3 million yen, which is lower than the average income level of Japanese.
High paying job
Although the salary of interns is meager, once they become full members, they will step into the ranks of high salaries. The average annual income of Japanese people is about 4-5 million yen, while the average annual income of ordinary doctors is as high as15-20 million yen (about 8-10 million RMB).
