Abstract: Objective To study the supportive personnel system reform for implementing the essential medicine system in Guangxi,as well as its impacts on the township hospitals and problems so incurred.Methods Deans (and/or vice deans)and financial staff of 24 townships hospitals were interviewed,while 80％ of medical staff of health centers in 8 counties were subject to a questionnaire survey,to evaluate impacts of the essential medicine system on township hospitals.Results As shown in the outcomes,44.02％of those surveyed were less enthusiastic after the new system was put in place,township health center doctors found their average salary decreased(P=0.027),and the rewarding salary failed to distinguish differences among posts,which all worsened the brain drain of these doctors.Conclusion The new personnel system is found with setbacks of poor incentive mechanism and poor operability.Thus further improvement should be made in scientific measurement of the gaps found in the performance-based pay,and the implementation of thetwo-way flow of medical personnel policy.
