Abstract:
Objective To analyze and master the allocation and distribution of radiological diagnosis and treatment resources in Nanjing, China, and to provide a basis for the health administrative departments to reasonably plan and allocate the radiological diagnosis and treatment resources in the whole city. Methods A general survey using the questionnaire on general information of radiological diagnosis and treatment institutions was conducted to investigate the amount and type of radiological diagnosis and treatment equipment and number of radiation workers in medical institutions in the whole city. Results There were totally 347 radiological diagnosis and treatment institutions at all levels involving 3999 radiation workers and 1342 sets of radiological diagnosis and treatment equipment in Nanjing. In urban radiological diagnosis and treatment institutions, there were 2798 (69.99%) radiation workers and 842 (62.74%) sets of radiological diagnosis and treatment equipment, more than those in the suburbs (1201 and 500 sets). There were 27 (7.78%) tertiary radiological diagnosis and treatment institutions, with 629 (46.87%) sets of radiological diagnosis and treatment equipment, which was more than those in the primary (287), secondary (189), and ungraded (237) medical institutions. There were 158 sets of radiological diagnosis and treatment equipment and 470 radiation workers per million people in Nanjing. Conclusion The distribution of radiological diagnosis and treatment equipment in Nanjing is uneven between urban and suburban areas and between various levels of medical institutions. The government and health administrative departments need to enhance the macroscopic readjustment and control, thus promoting the reasonable allocation of medical resources.
