Q1. We know that the reform of public hospitals is the toughest part of the country's medical reform. And the government has decided to remove the ability of hospitals to make profits on drugs in a bid to de-commercialize the services. What does this mean for both public hospitals and patients?
Q2. The government encourages more private hospitals to join the social welfare system. And it also plans to transform some public hospitals into private ones. Does this mean that private hospitals will present a threat to the public ones, which have dominated China's medical system?
Q3. Migrant workers are a special group in our society. They are included in the rural corporate medical system.But this is not available in many urban hospitals. What's the best way to solve this problem?
