In the corruption cases exposed by the medical anti-corruption storm, the huge amount of assets found by the hospital director, such as the 129 million involved in the Wang Tianchao case, is indeed shocking. The reasons behind these huge corruption cases are diverse and complex, but they can be boiled down to the following:
Regulatory loopholes in the system. The flow of funds for medical construction is unclear, and the details of the bills are forged, giving criminals the opportunity to embezzle public funds for their own use.
High cost of treatment and testing. Patients face repeated examinations, high equipment costs, and inflated drug prices in the process of seeking medical care, all of which increase the burden on patients and facilitate medical corruption.
Overtreatment. The act of providing patients with diagnosis and treatment that exceeds the actual needs of the disease, including over-examination, over-medication, over-surgery, etc. This behavior not only increases the consumption of medical resources, but also may bring economic burden, health damage to patients, and even affect the doctor-patient relationship. Medical personnel should follow the principle of "reasonable examination, reasonable use of drugs, reasonable treatment, and reasonable charges" to improve the quality of medical services and reduce the occurrence of excessive medical behavior.
Power and color trading. Some leading figures in the medical field have abused their power to seek personal interests for themselves, and even involved in power trading, which seriously violates professional ethics and laws and regulations.
In addition, the lack of legal awareness and lack of awareness of the seriousness of corruption among some hospital directors and medical staff is also one of the important reasons for this problem. There is still a long way to go in the fight against corruption in the medical field, and it is necessary to further strengthen system building, supervision, publicity and education to completely eradicate this stubborn disease.
