Abstract:
At present, there exist such problems in China as irrational distribution of medical resources, lack of market standards, weak awareness of competition and limitation of areas under medical insurance coverage. Yet with Chinas entry into WTO, there will be such severe challenges as change of the medical pattern and the pouring in of foreign medical institutions. In light of the circumstances, the medical industry in China should adopt the following measures: speeding up the reform of the medical and health system so as to enhance the competitive power; increasing the input of science and technology so as to strengthen the ability to innovate; and adopting the idea of the market so as to enhance the awareness of competition. In particular, attention should be paid to the change of needs of social groups, service orientation and manners on the part of domestic medical institutions should be studied, brand new concepts of service should be adopted, with respect shown to the rights of patients and a good image of each hospital should be created.
