1. Population aging: With the aggravation of population aging, the demand for medical and health services of the elderly population has also increased accordingly. The medical care needs of the elderly population are usually more complex and lasting, including chronic disease management and long-term care, which will increase the operating costs of hospitals.
2. Introduction of new technologies and drugs: The continuous progress of medical technologies and drugs may bring new treatment methods and drugs, but it usually means higher prices. In order to provide advanced medical services, hospitals may need to buy expensive medical equipment and medicines, thus increasing the cost.
3. Adverse infectious diseases: If there is an epidemic or a large-scale outbreak of infectious diseases in 2022, health centers may need to invest more resources in epidemic prevention and control, which will lead to an increase in expenditure.
4. Rising medical manpower cost: Medical manpower is the core resource of health centers, but the salary and welfare costs of doctors, nurses and other medical personnel usually increase with time. If the hospital needs to hire more medical staff to meet the demand, the increase of labor cost will lead to the increase of expenditure.
The above is only one of the possible reasons, and the specific situation needs to be analyzed according to the actual situation of different regions and hospitals.
