With the deepening of reform since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the mainland has made a firm pace in the fight against corruption, especially in the medical field, an important link in people's livelihood.
This is not only a defense of law and order, but also related to the well-being of hundreds of millions of people, after all, medical care is the most down-to-earth issue of people's livelihood.
On the medical front, there are such a group of people, their white coats represent the holiness of saving lives and helping the wounded, but there are people who hide their selfish desires under this holy cloak and tilt towards power in the balance of responsibility and mission.
On April 30, 2024, the Sichuan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision issued a blockbuster news: Tong Rongsheng, former vice president of Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital, was placed on file for review and investigation for serious violations of discipline and law.
Tong Rongsheng is not an unknown person, and enjoys a certain reputation in the medical community in Sichuan. His identity is not only limited to the leader of a hospital, but also the head of a related academic field.
With a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, he could have contributed wisdom and strength to the medical system, but the toxin of selfish desires quietly corroded his oath and faith.
Tong Rongsheng's path to promotion can be described as dewy, he rose from the head of a professional department to the core of the provincial health administration.
His medical attainments were supposed to serve the people, but he chose a different path – a way to get rich in exchange for knowledge and power, and he profited ill-gotten for himself and his co-conspirators.
Tong Rongsheng's actions have not only undermined the purity of the medical industry, but also eroded the public's trust in the medical system.
The injustice of medical resources is reflected in his power trading. The patient is struggling under the weight of rising medical bills, and he is swelling in the game of power.
For the people, for the doctors, and even for the heart, Tong Rongsheng's corrupt behavior is tantamount to casting a stain on the holy land of medical treatment. His behavior has undoubtedly exacerbated the social pain point of difficult and expensive medical treatment.
Looking back at Tong Rongsheng's former glory and the end of the curtain now, we feel sad at the same time, but also more vigilant. The practitioners who were originally on the front line of treatment slipped into the path of breaking the law because of greed, and lost the respect and glory that were not easy to win.
The anti-corruption of medical care is related to the interests of the country and the family. It is not only the environment of an industry that is purified, but also the protection of people's health.
We hope that through this clean and healthy anti-corruption campaign, medical care will return to justice and integrity, and let people enjoy true medical equality and the right to health.
Tong Rongsheng's fall is a strong signal given by the medical anti-corruption. May all medical workers learn from this, uphold the conscience of doctors, and inherit the benevolence and holiness of the white coat.
At the same time, we should strengthen the construction of the supervision system, combine prevention and governance, and build a long-term mechanism for the industry to ensure that medical justice is not eroded and public trust is not lost.
The Tong Rongsheng incident warns us that we should not relax our supervision of public power at any time. Through the storm of anti-corruption, we must not only eradicate the root causes of corruption, but also eliminate the cancers that are lurking in all walks of life.
When the anti-corruption wind uplifts out the accumulated evils of history, our medical environment will also be washed away, so that doctors can once again hold their hands in the light.
