Super hospitals not in line with medical reform
SOME SUPER HOSPITALS play such strong roles in the provision of public healthcare that they create a problem by diverting resources and draining talent from local hospitals. Legal Daily commented on Wednesday:
In the so-called super hospitals there are about 10,000 beds with the world's top medical equipment and more experienced clinical faculties and healthcare workers. In other words, the super hospitals have the best talent, equipment and infrastructure.
This means patients flood to these hospitals causing management problems, disputes and other issues, and there is a siphoning of talent from grassroots medical institutions. And since the super hospitals use the latest medical equipment, they need to make "super" profits. The result is an increased financial burden on patients.
