Violence in Hospitals:
Sadly a commonplace occurrence
A protesting doctor
after the attack shows
his lab coat saying,
Dont study Medicine.
If you are afraid to
die, dont enter this
door.
Results of Tense
Relationship
Refusing Admission
Treating without thorough explanation
Distrust on patients end
Overcrowding of city hospitals, exacerbates
issue
Doctors unsatisfied with salaries 95%
(Only 19% above average Chinese worker)
78% of doctors would push their children to
choose a different profession
Why public health? Population basis.
Causes
Failure of Chinese Healthcare System
Funding deficiency of hospital leading to
a marketization of healthcare
Poor distribution of care
Ineffective medical dispute laws, no
laws protecting doctors until recently.
Media
Solution
Doctors: Explain treatments fully,
Patients: Education Campaign
Systemic Level:
Increase funding or change the system
(other types that are proven to be more
effective)
Change the structure to seeing a local
hospital first
Incentives to work in local/rural hospitals
More effective medical dispute laws
