When you go to the hospital to see a doctor, I wonder if you feel strange about the name of the hospital. The name of some hospitals has the word "people" on it, which makes people mistakenly think that they are public hospitals with a public welfare nature. However, when they go in and take a look, they find that they are actually for-profit private hospitals. This will undoubtedly make people mistakenly think that they are public hospitals. People develop a mentality of being cheated. For patients, they definitely want to go to a public hospital to find a good doctor to treat them. After entering, they find that it is a private hospital and it may be too late to run away. So, are these for-profit private hospitals qualified to have the word "people" on their names? The country has not established relevant regulations in this regard
Judging from the current regulations, the country does not force private hospitals not to name such misleading names. Even if it is a private hospital, it can also use the name "People's Union" and other signboards to achieve advertising effect. In the absence of specific regulations, the naming methods of these private hospitals are similar, and everything is based on the ability to attract patients. Regardless of whether they are private or not, regardless of their medical level, they are all affiliated with big-name tertiary hospitals. In the long run, many patients will have difficulty distinguishing between hospitals, which can easily lead to patient confusion.
In other words, the naming of these private hospitals is not illegal. The purpose of private hospitals doing this is obvious
Although there are many private hospitals in China with high medical standards and affordable prices, they are only a minority after all. The main purpose of most private hospitals is to make money. For medical standards, They don't take it seriously. Many patients often don't like this kind of hospital and will stay away from it when they see it. In order to attract patients, they can only work hard on the name, giving them a fancy and misleading name, which can help them do business. Such behavior is very harmful. It's hard not to feel disgusted.
I think it’s time for the state to take action against hospitals that take shortcuts to attract patients.
