Abstract:
Objective To find out about community residents' demands and intentions for health service and explore new ways of delivering life-long health service. Methods An investigation was made via sending questionnaires to each household into the health conditions and demands and intentions for health service of 700 residents in 5 neighborhood committees and 1000 discharged patients as well as sub-healthy groups of people in a certain area in Nanchang. Results Of those surveyed, the two-week morbidity was 438 per thousand; the chronic morbidity was 574 per thousand; only 31.1% of the residents went to eommanity hospitals for medical service; and 63.4% of the residents never took any health care service while 59.6% of the residents thought it necessary to take health care service. Conclusion The masses of people are in dire need of low-price life-long medical service. Second-grade third-tier and second-tier hospitals in big and medium-sized cities may explore viable new ways of medical service that will meet the needs of society.
