Chapter 459 Medical Conference (5)
After the recess, the meeting entered the second major agenda, introducing the achievements of the construction of the East China Government's medical and health system and the future development and standardization, which was also directed by Zhou Weiying. Originally, experts from various countries were not interested in this topic, and the quality of the East China Government's medical and health system had something to do with them, but now they are all impressed with the medical and technical level of the East China Government, so their interest in this topic has increased greatly. Maybe there is something interesting here!
In addition, everyone's feelings about Zhou Weiying have also changed greatly. When they learned that Zhou Weiying was the chairman of this conference, the reactions of the expert representatives from various countries were similar to those at the time. After all, Zhou Weiying is really young and a woman, not to mention that she has a bit of pretty charm, so it is inevitable that people will have other ideas. Some people are still mentally conscious of watching Zhou Weiying's jokes.
Although women's awareness of rights in this era has begun to awaken, even in European and American countries, men are still dominated by men. Although women's status has improved, it is far from half the sky. There are almost no female officials in government agencies in various countries. There are only women in jobs such as clerks. In factory enterprises, in addition to family businesses, there are basically no female executives, and there are not many female workers. The occupations that women can engage in are mainly textile industries, health care and services industries, which are much narrower than men. Among the representatives from various countries who came to China to attend the conference this time, there were not even a single woman, all of them were men. Although the health care industry is an industry with more women, they mainly engaged in nurses, with few female doctors, and there are even fewer experts. This time, they are thousands of miles away from China, so of course they will not send women.
However, when Zhou Weiying introduced the epidemic prevention measures of the East China Government, she had a dignified attitude, clear language, and spoke very fluently in English. The experts had basically no hearing barriers. When answering questions from experts, she was generous and decent, well-informed, and not confused at all. Obviously, she had real knowledge and would never rely on beauty to gain the upper hand. In addition, everyone is already impressed by the medical level of the East China Government, so her attitude towards Zhou Weiying naturally changed. On the contrary, she felt that among a large group of men, such a young and pretty woman appeared, which was also a special scenery. Now Zhou Weiying is the main talk of the achievements of the East China Government's medical and health system and the standardization of the future development of the East China Government. Many people are also full of expectations.
In fact, Zhou Weiying can feel the changes in the attitudes of experts from various countries, but she doesn’t care much about it. After all, this is the general environment of this era. Just do your own thing well, regardless of what others think.
Before the establishment of the East China Government, during the Qing Dynasty, China basically did not have a so-called medical system. In a large-scale medical institution similar to modern hospitals, only the Imperial Hospital established by the government not only had many doctors, but also had a relatively superficial division of medical subjects. However, compared with modern hospitals, its organizational structure and operation methods were still very backward. Moreover, the Imperial Hospital mainly serves royal families, high-ranking officials, ordinary civilians, and even middle- and lower-level officials. Moreover, the Imperial Hospital only has this treatment. Moreover, the Imperial Hospital only has one. Once it leaves the capital, even if it is a royal family, high-ranking officials and high-ranking officials cannot obtain the services of the Imperial Hospital.
In general cities, there are no institutions similar to modern hospitals. The social medical needs are mainly supported by the doctors and individual doctors in pharmacies. Not only is the small scale, but even if it is a large pharmacy, it is very good to have 3 or 5 doctors in pharmacies. Moreover, the division of labor for medical subjects is not clear. Strictly speaking, there is no division of labor at all. Basically, a doctor can treat all kinds of diseases. Only a larger pharmacies may divide the diagnosis and treatment directions that doctors are good at, but there will be no clear division of labor. In addition, some religious institutions, such as Buddhism and Taoism, can also inherit some social medical work.
If there are some medical resources in the city that can avoid the need to meet the medical needs of society. In the larger rural and town shops, professional doctors and doctors are rare. The medical needs of most rural areas are supported by amateur doctors and doctors, and they are like witches and charlatans. Therefore, most farmers are mainly supported by their physical fitness, and taking medicine is just to seek some psychological comfort.
On the other hand, during the Qing Dynasty, the training of medical personnel was not systematic. In formal social education, there was no professional health and medical education at all. The training of medical personnel mainly relies on the most traditional Chinese model of teachers leading apprentices, and family traditions. In addition, a small number of people rely on self-study. This education method is not only unsystematic, but also slow to achieve results. The number of medical personnel trained is also very limited, making it difficult to train medical personnel on a large scale and systematic basis.
When the East China Government was first established, there were only several foreign church hospitals in Tianjin and Qingdao. The East China Government attached great importance to health and medical work and began to establish a modern medical system. First of all, there is the Ministry of Health in government agencies, and there are also departments responsible for managing health and medical work in local administrative departments at all levels.
The second is the formal establishment of hospitals and the classification of hospitals. At present, the East China government divides hospitals into three levels: A, B and C, each level is divided into three levels. The general standards are: more than 30 attending doctors, more than 10 subjects, and more than 10 are Class A hospitals; within 10-30 subjects, 5-10 are Class B hospitals; in attending doctors, 5-10 are Class B hospitals; in attending doctors, 5-10 are Class C hospitals; in class C, the following is called clinics, which are privately opened and are converted from pharmacies or individual doctors in the past.
Although such standards were extremely low in the old time and space, and Class A hospitals were not strong enough to be considered a medium-sized hospital, they were considered very advanced in this era.
In terms of health and medical education, although the East China Government has not officially established a professional university in health and medical care, so far, it has opened a health and medical major in four universities and has also cultivated a group of professional medical staff. Of course, it is far from enough to rely solely on medical staff trained by the school. Therefore, the East China Government also wants to do everything possible. First, it is trying its best to organize the doctors and individual doctors in the pharmacy to transform them into attending doctors in the hospital. It should be said that this group of people have certain medical knowledge and rich treatment experience. They only need to go through short training and determine their professional subjects to work.
Secondly, amateur doctors, including some religious personnel. In fact, the number of this group of people is much larger than that of the doctors and individual doctors, but the quality is different. In comparison, religious personnel are better. Among them, there are many monks and Taoists with real knowledge, and their level is no less than that of the doctors in pharmacies. Most of the amateur doctors, the doctors in Fang are cheating. Of course, a few people are still some real skills. Therefore, this group of people must not only be carefully investigated, but also undergo relatively strict training and eliminate a group of people before they can get a job.
In addition, a group of maids from former officials, landlords and wealthy families were recruited to train them into nurses. Because of the land reform, a large number of maids and wealthy families lost their power and failed. Therefore, a large number of maids, servants, maids and maids were pushed to society. Most of the maids and maids were converted into industrial workers, while some of the maids and maids were converted into female workers, but most of them were accepted by the hospital. After all, it was not necessary to be a nurse at this time. As long as you are diligent and able to take care of others, you can do this. You can work after simple training.
Of course, all medical staff, including nurses, work while continuing to learn to advance their professional level. Because they are nurses, because they are young, have strong plasticity, and receive fresh affairs faster, they have become the target of the East China Government's focus on cultivating.
In this way, some medical staff gathered. By this time, 8 Class A hospitals were established; 32 Class B hospitals, 153 Class C hospitals, and more than 500 private clinics were established. At least one Class B hospital was equipped with a provincial capital city, and the popularity rate of Class C hospitals in ordinary cities exceeded 80%. In addition, 7 pharmaceutical manufacturing plants were established, with more than 60,000 mu of land used to plant medical plants.
Compared with European countries, the current medical scale and overall medical level of the East China government are still relatively backward. Not only is the popularity of hospitals not high, after all, most areas in China are rural, and not to mention hospitals, there are not many private clinics in rural areas. In addition, the quality of medical staff is not high, and most medical staff have not been systematically studied. Treating diseases mainly depends on experience. In addition, traditional Chinese medicine accounts for the vast majority, while Western medicine accounts for a very small proportion and is extremely unbalanced.
At present, the biggest obstacle to the development of the health and medical industry in the East China government is the serious shortage of medical staff, because in terms of medical staff, the potential that can be tapped has been basically tapped. If you want to expand the number of medical staff, you can only cultivate it yourself.
However, despite this, the East China Government has only been established for more than 10 years. It is not easy to develop from a blank foundation to this level. Therefore, after listening to Zhou Weiying's introduction, many people admired the achievements made by the East China Government.
