Chapter 376
Lu Lao and Li Weiying's father were chatting in the hotel to reminisce about the old days.

Three cars stopped at the entrance of the hotel. Secretary Wang, Director Bayin, Director of the Health Bureau, and Briggood got out of the car and hurried to the hotel.

"What's the matter with Dean Li? Mr. Lu didn't know how to report such a big matter to our grassland city. Is he still politically aware?"

Secretary Wang hurriedly walked ahead, with a bit of displeasure on his face.

As a cadre in the branch of the Ministry of Health, Mr. Lu in the 60s has worked in Mengjiang for 13 years. He has participated in the formulation of the province's epidemic prevention plan many times and has a high prestige in Mengjiang.

Even after Mr. Lu returned to work in the capital, many people from Mengjiang who came to the capital for business would take time to visit Mr. Lu.

In the past, the leaders of the province and Jiuyuan City had a close relationship with Mr. Lu. After all, Mr. Lu was in the branch of Jiuyuan City, so he naturally had this kind of love.

It is rare for Mr. Lu to come to Grassland City this time. The municipal party committee and government's hospitality for Mr. Lu is also a respect for the national expert, not to mention that this expert has such a deep relationship with Mengjiang.

If he can take this opportunity to establish a relationship with Mr. Lu, he will have another way to do business in the capital in the future.

A medical expert like Mr. Lu, who has worked in ministries and commissions for many years, has unimaginable connections, especially medical experts.

You can look at those experts and professors who used to work in the May [-]th Cadre School, and go back to visit the places where they worked. Which one is not accompanied by provincial representatives and local leaders.

What's more, Mr. Lu's supporting side work.

"Secretary, everyone knows Mr. Lu's temper. He is low-key. Do you think there are a few doctors who can continue to work in the front line after being in a high position like Mr. Lu? They are doctors with real medical ethics. Mr. Lu is definitely not willing. Dean Li didn't let us know because he disturbed the local work."

The director of the health bureau gently wiped the sweat from his forehead, and carefully defended Li Weiying.

Li Weiying was recommended by the Director of the Health Bureau, and he would definitely not leave a bad impression on the leader of Grassland City.

After listening to the explanation from the Director of the Health Bureau, Secretary Wang's unhappiness eased down a little.

Come to the front desk of the hotel and ask Mr. Lu about his accommodation.

The front desk clerk personally brought Secretary Wang to the room where he stayed.

After the waiter left, Secretary Wang gently knocked on Mr. Lu's door.

Elder Lu, who was chatting with Li Weiying's father, heard the knock on the door and looked towards the door.

Li Weiying hurriedly got up and said, "Old Lu, you continue to chat, I'll go and check, it should be the room service cleaning."

Li Weiying walked to the door, opened the door, and saw four people standing at the door, with a slightly frozen expression, and hurriedly greeted: "Secretary Wang, Mayor Bayin, Director Hao, and Director Brigud."

Secretary Wang asked, "Is Mr. Lu in there?"

Li Weiying moved aside and said, "Secretary Wang, Mr. Lu is chatting with some colleagues who used to work together."

Secretary Wang walked into the room with a smile on his face. Seeing Mr. Lu sitting in the main seat, he took two steps forward quickly, bent down and stretched out his hands.

"Mr. Lu, hello! I am Wang Cheng, a senior official of Grassland City. Welcome to our Grassland City."

When they heard that it was a senior city official, the others stood up in unison.

Secretary Wang shook Mr. Lu's hand with a smile on his face, looked at Li Weiying and said, "Comrade Li Weiying, Mr. Lu's coming to Grassland City is such a big event, why didn't you report it to the municipal party committee and government."

Secretary Wang turned his head and held Lao Lu's hand enthusiastically: "Old Lu! You are a person who has made great contributions to Mengjiang, and we must treat you well when you come to Mengjiang."

Mr. Lu explained for Li Weiying: "I made a temporary decision to come here. I didn't tell anyone. I just came to see the progress of Xiao Sun's project. It's just some private matters. I don't intend to bother the local leaders."

Saying that, Mr. Lu looked at Huang Su who was behind.

This is the rhetoric that everyone has discussed, and they just don't want people outside to know their purpose of coming too early.

Secretary Wang looked at Huang Su behind the crowd and nodded.

For Huang Su, Secretary Wang still has an impression, knowing that he has a medical research project, and he used the building of the former guest house.

"Mr. Lu, you must honor us at noon, and let us do our honor as landlords."

Seeing Secretary Wang's warm invitation, Mr. Lu had no choice but to nod in agreement.

After all, the top leader of a prefecture-level city wanted it so enthusiastically, and it was hard for Mr. Lu to refuse.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Secretary Wang took Mayor Bayin, Director Hao, and Buzhigude away with great satisfaction.

Sending off the enthusiastic Secretary Wang, Mr. Lu said to Professor Sun and Professor Chen: "Xiao Sun, Xiao Chen! You can accompany me to go at noon."

Li Weiying's father and others chatted with Mr. Lu for a while, then got up to leave.

At noon, Huang Su drove Mr. Lu, Professor Sun, and Chen Jingshan back.

Walking into the hotel lobby, I happened to meet Zhao Weizhong and his son who were consulting at the front desk.

Huang Su stepped forward and hurriedly asked: "Director Zhao, the old dean! Why are you here?"

Chen Jingshan also stepped forward to say hello: "Director Zhao!"

Dean Zhao walked up to Mr. Lu and asked, "Mr. Lu, do you still recognize me?"

Seeing that Dean Zhao was very familiar, Mr. Lu tentatively said for a long time, "You are Director Zhao of the Baotou Iron and Steel Institute."

Dean Zhao said happily: "Old Lu, you have a good memory, you still remember me now."

Mr. Lu laughed and said, "No one can forget you. Thanks to your care during those years by my side, I have no worries in my life!"

Recalling the days when they worked together, Mr. Lu and Mr. Zhao showed the joy of reuniting old friends on their faces.

While chatting, the two walked towards Mr. Lu's room.

Huang Su and the others silently followed behind.

Walking into the room, Mr. Lu looked at Zhao Weizhong and said, "Old Zhao, who is this?"

Dean Zhao said: "This is my son, Zhao Weizhong, who is now the deputy director of the Mengjiang Health Department."

Chen Jingshan added: "Mr. Lu, our Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine was able to become independent from Mengjiang Medical University, and Director Zhao has exerted a lot of strength from it."

After hearing Chen Jingshan's words, Mr. Lu looked Zhao Weizhong up and down.

"Not bad!"

The reason why Mr. Lu has a good impression of Zhao Weizhong is that there are very few cadres who support the development of Chinese medicine. Most of the cadres are helping Western medicine to suppress Chinese medicine.

Out of his affection for Zhao Weizhong, Mr. Lu became even more enthusiastic about Mr. Zhao.

Mr. Lu asked the old dean to sit beside him and asked, "I heard Xiao Huang call you the old dean, how did you become the dean of the city hospital?"

Old Dean Zhao said: "Baogang reformed in the 80s, the hospital was assigned to the government, and I was transferred to the No. 1 civilian hospital in Grassland City, where I worked until I retired."

As a large state-owned iron and steel factory, Baotou Iron and Steel Hospital had the best medical care and management level in Mengjiang at that time.

After the factory's burden was reduced and the Baotou Steel Hospital was transferred to the local government, many hospital leaders also went to other hospitals in order to improve the hospital management level in Mengjiang.

Watching Zhao Weizhong and his son come together, it doesn't seem like they are simply reminiscing about the old days.

Mr. Lu asked directly: "Old Zhao, are you here today for something?"

Dean Zhao said very frankly: "My son is here today and wants to ask Mr. Lu for help."

What Zhao Weizhong asked for was beneficial to Chinese medicine practitioners, and it was a business matter rather than a private matter. The old director Zhao said it naturally and calmly.

"Director Zhao, if you have anything to say, you might as well speak up, old man, I will help if I can."

For the care of Zhibian, as long as it is not too embarrassing, Mr. Lu plans to help.

Besides, Mr. Lu still knows the character of Mr. Zhao, and he is not using his power for personal gain or being good at monopolizing this person.

Zhao Weizhong sorted out his thoughts a bit and said: "I have been working in the Mengjiang Provincial Health Department for more than a year. I have been handling doctor-patient dispute cases for more than a year, which made me feel a lot. I found that [-]% of doctor-patient dispute cases are It is a case of Western medicine. In the case, the patient’s family becomes poor due to illness, and the phenomenon of returning to poverty due to illness is extremely common. Patients with doctor-patient disputes are only the tip of the iceberg of patients treated by Western medicine. How many people will there be! With the deepening of the medical reform, it is difficult to see a doctor, expensive to see a doctor, poverty due to illness, and return to poverty due to illness is getting worse."

Eight years of advice and suggestions in the think tank of Western medicine experts, suggesting the marketization of the medical industry.

During this process, all those who opposed the marketization of medical services were labeled as "conservative and opposed to reform" by Western medicine and the interest groups behind it.

And under the operation of Western medicine and the interest groups behind it, all those who opposed it were basically transferred from the health system.

After the obstacle is removed.

In 2000, the state promulgated the "Notice on the Guiding Opinions on the Reform of the Urban Medical and Health System", which clarified the major policies of my country's medical and health system reform.At the same time, 13 supporting documents were issued, marking the gradual opening of the curtain of China's medical reform, and the marketization of hospitals began to make great strides.

With the deepening of medical reform, the problems of medical reform are gradually exposed.

Although the medical reform has achieved a significant drop in government investment in medical and health services.

At the same time, it also forces medical institutions to take the road of being responsible for their own profits and losses.

Simply treating medical service institutions as ordinary enterprises, identifying them as the tertiary industry, and choosing an over-market-oriented reform path, the government ignores or abandons its own responsibilities, and realizes the self-financing of medical service institutions by encouraging income generation, deviates from the Health care serves the larger purpose of society and encourages health care institutions to pursue economically targeted outcomes.

The transformation of medical institutions from social services to market commercialization has led to the layout of new hospitals and the positioning of service targets mainly depending on market demand.In terms of internal micro-organization and management of hospitals, it is generally turning to an enterprise-oriented management model.

The traditional three-level medical service network has been broken. Rural doctors have no collective support and guarantee, township health centers have been weaned off food, and county-level hospitals cannot play their leading role. All medical resources are concentrated in big cities.

The medical service institutions are gradually moving towards the stage of comprehensive competition, and the law of survival of the fittest is manifested vividly. Hospitals have become stakeholders who implement independent economic accounting and have independent business awareness.

The field of public health is also pursuing economic goals. The accessibility of medical and health services is contrary to commercial and market-oriented service methods, which has exacerbated the differences between urban and rural areas, regions, and rich and poor. The vast rural areas have returned to the state of lack of medical care and medicine .

The fairness of medical services has dropped significantly. "Difficult to see a doctor, expensive to see a doctor, poverty due to illness, and relapse due to illness" have become the main contradictions in this medical reform.

The imbalance in the distribution of medical resources has directly led to the resurgence of some infectious and endemic diseases that had been controlled before the reform, and some hygiene and health indicators have even deteriorated.

The public health crisis exposed by SARS in 2003 and the emergence of many other problems have fully demonstrated that all the problems of this medical reform have been completely exposed.

On May 2005, 5, the headline on the front page of "Hospital Daily" published the viewpoint of "Marketization is not the direction of medical reform".

"Hospital News" is a newspaper directly under the Ministry of Health, representing the most authoritative health and medical trends.

Not long ago, "China Youth Daily" quoted the report of "Hospital Daily" in May and forwarded this point of view, pointing out that the cost and difficulty of seeing a doctor caused by the medical reform process have become social problems, and declared that the medical reform is basically unsuccessful. I believe many people People take it for granted.

In July 2005, the state even promulgated the research report of the research group of "China's Medical and Health System Reform" and came to the conclusion that "my country's medical reform is basically unsuccessful".

The report pointed out that the fairness of current medical services has declined and the macro-efficiency of health investment is low. Therefore, it is concluded that the tendency of commercialization and marketization of the medical and health system is completely wrong and violates the basic laws of medical and health care.

Although the medical reform has failed, Western medicine and the interest groups behind it have achieved their goals.

Western medicine and the interest groups behind it take advantage of the government's inability to continue supporting health care institutions to realize their own self-interest.

After the marketization of medical institutions, Western Medicine Group has completely monopolized China's pharmaceutical market, and Western Medicine is also realizing rapid growth in revenue due to marketization.

This failed medical reform has had a profound impact on China's health care, and the people are still suffering from the adverse consequences of this medical reform.

Although Zhao Weizhong still can't sort out the causal relationship before and after the medical reform, but in his actual work, he feels that the medical reform has brought many adverse effects.

"Since Director Huang cured my father's stroke, I started to get in touch with Chinese medicine. After getting in touch with Professor Chen, I gradually became familiar with Chinese medicine. I found that Chinese medicine has the advantages of good curative effect, no recurrence, and cheap medicine."

As he said that, Zhao Weizhong looked at Mr. Lu with longing eyes: "Our Mengjiang is an inland frontier city, and the income of residents is not high. I want to change the expensive and expensive medical treatment in our province by taking the road of medical reform with the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine in Mengjiang. Difficult to see a doctor."

Although Zhao Weizhong didn't know that the expensive and difficult medical treatment is the result of the medical reform, but as a leader in charge of medical and health care in a province, he can only solve the problem of expensive and difficult medical treatment in the province by his own method.

I came to look for Mr. Lu today, hoping to get the support of the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine behind Mr. Lu.

Only with strong support from the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine can Zhao Weizhong be more confident in his path of medical reform.

Mr. Lu pondered for a while and said: "I support your idea very much, but Mengjiang is an area where the Mongolian people gather. You should not forget the unique Mongolian medicine here. Your medical reform should include Mongolian medicine. It is best to get Su Rongzabu, so that you It is also easier for the state to apply for policies.”

Hearing Mr. Lu's suggestion, Zhao Weizhong was overjoyed. He deserves to be a figure at the level of Taishan Beidou, and he can see it thoroughly.

With the joint support of Chinese and Mongolian medicine, Zhao Weizhong believes that his reform path will be smoother.
