Abstract

China¡¯s doctors are in crisis and in danger, they are under threat of their personal safety at work. Since its birth in 1949, the People¡¯s Republic of China has undertaken a series of remarkable health system experiments for many years. Despite the remarkable increase in the hospitals in China, the policymakers often overlook the unfilled medical jobs and medical education. Most doctors in China are overworked and underpaid. We urge the policy makers to protect doctor¡¯s right, make a long-term health policy, and build a health system with safety, high-quality and sustainability.
