Stop buying and selling hospitals

Switching ownership of hospitals will not guarantee the success of the country's healthcare reform, unless there is a sound systematic medical mechanism in the interest of the general public, says an article in People's Daily. Following is an excerpt:

Government-funded hospitals can be sold to private owners and bought back under the same banner - healthcare reform. That's the reality in China today.

Years ago, we sold the hospitals. Now, we are buying them back, saying it is in the interest of the general population. Or so the government claims.
