The number of private hospitals is lower than that of public hospitals

2014-01-16 source: in terms of quantity, the proportion of public hospitals in Southern Metropolis Daily has dropped to 57.8%, and the hospitals invested by social capital are almost equal to the public hospitals This is the latest data released by Su Zhi, director of the Department of food safety standards, monitoring and evaluation of the national health and Family Planning Commission, at a regular press conference recently However, some experts pointed out in an interview with reporters recently that it will take time for private hospitals to reach the same running line with public hospitals in terms of scale and quality In addition, under the stimulation of a series of support policies from the central government to local governments, the same fashion of social capital competing to enter the medical industry needs to be leveled off and can not be a hospital with the mentality of taking a handful Since private hospitals ushered in the great development in March 2009, a new round of deepening medical reform has been launched, and the social medical service has been developed rapidly The number of institutions, beds, on-the-job staff and service volume of non-public medical institutions have been growing According to Su Zhi, in 2012, compared with 2008 before the deepening of medical reform, the number of private hospitals increased from 5403 to 9786, with an increase rate of 81.1% A series of achievements in encouraging social capital to enter the medical field in According to the incomplete statistics of Nandu reporters, since 2009, the central and local governments have issued favorable policies for private hospitals Only in 2013, three major policies were issued: first, the decision of the CPC Central Committee on several major issues of comprehensively deepening reform clearly proposed that the society should be encouraged to run medical institutions, and priority should be given to supporting the establishment of non-profit medical institutions Social funds can be directly invested in the fields of scarce resources and services to meet multiple needs, and participate in the restructuring and reorganization of public hospitals in various forms Second, in September 2013, the State Council's several opinions on promoting the development of health service industry required that medical services be vigorously developed to accelerate the formation of a diversified medical service pattern Third, on January 9, 2014, the state health and Family Planning Commission and the State Administration of traditional Chinese medicine officially issued several opinions on accelerating the development of social medical services It's still time to catch up with the public hospitals With the introduction of a series of policies, including Fosun Pharmaceutical and Kangmei pharmaceutical, they have announced a series of new strategies and measures to lay out the medical industry However, Zhuang Yiqiang, Deputy Secretary General of China Hospital Association, said in an interview with Nandu reporter recently that if social capital continues to invest in medical institutions, it is expected that the problem of "difficult to see a doctor" will be solved However, if social capital invests in hospitals with the attitude of "taking a handful", the final result will or will not be money in the short term, The problem of "expensive medical treatment" can not be solved "80% of British hospitals are public hospitals, 20% of American hospitals are public hospitals, but 80% of private hospitals are non-profit hospitals, less than 20% of which are for-profit hospitals That is to say, more than 80% of the hospitals in these two countries are non-profit hospitals However, some public hospitals in our country are not really "public hospitals" In addition, more than 60% of private hospitals in our country are profitable " Zhuang pointed out In its view, the number of private hospitals and beds has increased significantly, and the growth rate is faster than that of public hospitals This has something to do with the government's encouragement of social capital to run hospitals in recent years But behind the rise in the number and proportion of private hospitals, we need to look at several proportions According to the latest data, the proportion of private hospitals in the national hospitals has increased to more than 40%, and the number is close to 10000 However, from the perspective of beds, it can still be seen that there is still a gap between private hospitals and public hospitals in terms of scale and overall technical level "The data we have learned is that at present, the total number of beds in domestic private hospitals only accounts for more than 10% of the total number of hospitals in China, and more than 82% of private hospitals have less than 100 beds Generally speaking, there are three characteristics of "small, disorderly and poor" in private hospitals After social capital enters, it will take a while for private hospitals to achieve the same level of development as public hospitals When the development level of private hospitals is similar to that of public hospitals, it should be when the ratio of the number of institutions of public hospitals and private hospitals is equal to the ratio of their beds " Zhuang Yiqiang finally said
