Abstract: This practice of villagers' autonomy in township governance has transformed the income model of rural doctors,desalinated the nature of public welfare of village clinics,weakened the occupational attractions of rural doctors,softened the once strict assessment on rural doctors previously conducted by health authorities,and affected the selection of rural doctors in their place of practice.These setbacks discourage professionals in becoming rural doctors,and discourage their incentive to be competent.Outcomes of such a practice include shrinkage medical and health services provided in different degrees,poor distribution of rural doctors in overlapping,shifts or blank,all these affecting the equity and accessibility of the rural residents' access to basic medical and health services,and the construction of rural harmonious doctor-patient relationship.
