Kaifeng, China, July 11 (Reporter Li Chaoqing) Recently, 36 village doctors in Zhusha Town, Tongxu County, Henan Province and 28 village doctors in Dagang Li Township successively exposed their joint collective resignation letters, which attracted much attention. On July 10th, some co-branded village doctors in Tongxu County said that although they signed their resignation letters, the consultation did not stop. At present, funds such as subsidies for basic public health services have been allocated in place.
In Chenzhai Village of Zhusha Town and Nangang Clinic of Dagang Li Township, the reporter saw that villagers came to see a doctor from time to time, and the outpatient log and daily consultation were almost uninterrupted. Village doctors in these two clinics had previously signed a joint resignation letter. They said that the original joint signature only hoped to get the due part of the subsidy funds as soon as possible.
Li Guojun, a village doctor in Nangang Clinic, Lixiang Township, Dagang, said that the main reason was that public health service funds were not allocated in time. "The money allocated in 2018 is a bit slow. I hope the relevant departments can pay attention to it by fingerprinting and signing my resignation letter."
Zhou Jinqiang, a doctor in Chenzhai Village, Zhusha Town, has the same idea. "When our village doctor went to the meeting, he met a piece. We discussed adding some pressure to the dean, and they all signed it. We wanted the money (public health service funds) to be allocated as soon as possible. Money can’t be dialed for a long time, and we can’t turn around. "
In view of the problems reflected in the resignation letter, such as "heavy work pressure, more and more funds from higher authorities, less and less access to village doctors, inadequate payment of wages, and layers of deductions", on July 8, the investigation released by Tongxu County Government said that after the investigation of the special working group headed by the county magistrate, the resignation report reflected "village doctors were deducted" and "the price of basic drugs doubled".
According to the circular, at present, village doctors enjoy public health service items, basic drugs and general medical expenses subsidies, and the rest have no relevant policies for the time being, which reflects that the situation is not true; In the first half of 2019, national basic public health service project subsidies, basic drug subsidies and other funds, the county party Committee and county government instructed the finance, health care, medical insurance and other departments to allocate in place before July 20.
Regarding the investigation released by the Tongxu county government, Zhou Jinqiang said that there was no layer-by-layer deduction, which was sent back by the township doctors. "I have never met the situation of deducting 30% of public health funds and paying 5% of the deposit."
Li Guojun also said that he had never encountered such a situation of deduction at different levels.
On July 9, National Health Commission asked the Henan Provincial Health and Health Commission to investigate and verify the situation immediately, and instructed that no matter where the problem occurred, it should be investigated clearly and rectified immediately. National Health Commission staff also arrived in Tongxu on the afternoon of the 9th to learn about the situation.
At present, Tongxu County has launched a county-wide investigation on such problems. The subsidy funds involved in the collective resignation letter were distributed in place before noon on July 10.
Zhang Laijun, dean of Dagang Lixiang Health Center, told the reporter that all the funds were in place on July 10, including 30% of public health funds in 2018, and all of them were in place in the first half of 2019.
"We called our account yesterday, and everyone dialed it according to the standards of 22 yuan." Li Guojun said that although he resigned, the work of the clinic did not stop for a day. "I dare not stop, because it is difficult for people to stop seeing a doctor."
Xia Zhonghai, a 75-year-old village doctor who didn’t sign the joint letter, thinks that if he chooses to be a village doctor, he should serve the people and be indifferent to fame and fortune.
Xia Zhonghai said, "Village doctors were a noble profession before the countryside. The biggest gain is to be able to do something good and practical for the people, and to be welcomed by the masses everywhere. If we just look at the salary, the village doctors can’t do it, because the village doctors didn’t get paid before. I’ve been doing it for 50 years now. It is not easy for the older generation of village doctors to do it step by step for so many years, which is also a respectable place for village doctors. " (End)
