SHOULD YOU RUN A PUBLIC HOSPITAL OR A PRIVATE CLINIC ?
“ Although the policy grants individual doctors the freedom to run their own clinics , hospitals tend to hold on to their best doctors and prevent them from leaving ,” said Lei Hongpei . “ However , if doctors and hospitals can reach a balance in terms of economic interests and various other aspects , medical capacity will be improved , and this is beneficial to the public .”
“ Private clinics are mostly operating in communities , where doctors are badly needed , Hongpei added . “ Patients who usually find it difficult to see a doctor in big hospitals will now have easy access to quality doctors in community clinics . On the basis of doing well in hospitals , doctors can make extra money in their private clinics .” Many physicians enjoy a hospital association and some simply don ’ t . The bottom line ? Do what works best for your daily routine and how you believe you can best treat your patients .
