Abstract:
The red doctor is a spiritual quality gradually molded during the process of the Communist Party of China (CPC) leading China’s healthcare undertakings. Through historical accumulation, the red doctor spirit has become a critical spiritual guide in the field of healthcare in China. The generation of the red doctor spirit is guided by the “spiritual essence” of Marxism, rooted in the “foundational heritage” of China’s excellent traditional medical ethics culture, and nurtured in the “soil” of arduous revolutionary medical practices led by the CPC, embodying the generative logic for the dynamic evolution of theory and practice. Currently, the red doctor spirit demonstrates significant era value in enriching the CPC’s spiritual spectrum, advancing medical talent cultivation, supporting the implementation of the healthy China strategy, and other aspects. In the context of the new era, inheriting the spirit of red medicine requires both expanding its communication channels and integrating it into the ideological and political education of medical schools, achieving a two-way synergy between online and offline platforms.
