Super hospitals have own deficiencies

The No 1 Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University in Zhengzhou, Henan province in Central China, has been called the world's "biggest and richest" after disclosing its revenue last year. The hospital, which has more than 7,000 beds, made nearly 7.6 billion yuan ($1.27 billion) last year. Comments:

The huge size of the hospital does not benefit the patients. On the contrary, it is very difficult for the patients to register and see a doctor because there are always so many people waiting to register, to buy medicines and to be examined by the doctors. The health authorities should think of a more rational model for allocating limited medical resources to improve the quality of its service.
