"Well, I met a young rising star in our medical field today. It was quite rewarding."
After chatting for a while, Li Houmin made a joke and stood up to say goodbye to Kou Zhengfan.
Kou Zhengfan and Yun Heng accompanied Li Houmin to the door, watched Li Houmin get into the car, and then they returned to the house.
"Grandpa Kou, thank you."
Yun Heng thanked him.
"This incident is mainly due to you. Secondly, Mr. Zuo also spoke well of your West Asia Hospital."
After sitting down, Kou Zhengfan poured tea for the two of them and said, "The country has always provided considerable support to the medical field, but Traditional Chinese Medicine has never played a large role."
For hospitals, the main financial sources are two aspects: one is naturally patients, and the other is support from above.
Basically, the top three hospitals in China integrate medical care, scientific research and education. They are not just medical institutions, and their annual cost expenditures are not small.
However, the demand for traditional Chinese medicine is low and the revenue generated is small, so the support is naturally limited.
For many hospitals, the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine is a dispensable existence, and the doctors in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine are also called slackers.
There are many reasons why West Asia Hospital was able to receive support this time and even Yun Heng was able to talk with Li Houmin.
Although central Chinese medicine practitioners like Xie Yunzhang and Kou Zhengfan have great influence and are highly respected, they rarely interfere in certain matters. Rules are rules.
For some famous doctors, artists and the like, even some leaders will show respect unless there are too many interests involved. But if you always interfere, people will gradually dislike you.
"Thank you, Grandpa Kou."
Yun Heng thanked him again and humbly asked, "Grandpa Kou, what aspects do you think our West Asia Hospital should focus on to demonstrate and highlight itself?"
Although Yun Heng didn't understand much, he knew that the specific level of support would depend on the materials submitted at that time.
At the very least, on the surface, you have to do as much work as the amount of funds allocated, and you will get as much support as you need to do.
If you submit the information and after review they think five million is enough, they will definitely not give you ten million.
The financial situation of West Asia Hospital is still very sufficient at this stage, and all the expenses of building a new hospital are not included in the original financial expenditure of West Asia Hospital.
In other words, the income from outpatient and inpatient departments of Xiya Hospital in the past two years, and the donations directly donated to Xiya Hospital, are all from within the hospital. The funds for the hospital's expansion are mainly supported by the Provincial University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the provincial and municipal governments, and the help of Mi Sheng Group.
But more money will definitely make things easier. West Asia Hospital currently has a poor foundation, and its biggest advantage is a group of young doctors and the reputation and fame that Yun Heng has accumulated over the past two years.
"West Asia Hospital must now focus on three aspects."
Kou Zhengfan said, "First and foremost, talent cultivation is the foundation of a hospital. Since West Asia Hospital is taking a different path, it can't be like other hospitals. You need to have your own unique characteristics in this regard. Talent cultivation also requires funds."
"Yeah." Yun Heng nodded.
"The second aspect is the construction of specialized departments..."
Kou Zhengfan paused and said, "The third point is actually very important."
Yun Heng listened carefully. "The biggest difference of Xiya Hospital is its young staff. It has gathered a group of highly skilled Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors. Financial support is only an external factor. More importantly, I hope that Xiya Hospital, as a pilot hospital, can receive policy support."
"Policy-wise?"
Yun Heng was stunned.
"Many current medical policies are actually not friendly to traditional Chinese medicine. I think you can feel this."
Kou Zhengfan said: "There are many TCM hospitals and departments across the country. The reason why TCM departments and hospitals are unable to make progress is particularly due to policy restrictions."
"Most of the young doctors at West Asia Hospital are highly skilled, young, and ambitious, but they are a minority after all. For most doctors, it's already difficult to do their job well and avoid breaking the rules..."
After hearing what Kou Zhengfan said, Yun Heng finally understood.
Yes, doctors are also human beings. For most doctors, it is already very good if they can do their job well without violating any rules. But for traditional Chinese medicine, due to the current restrictions of the medical system, many doctors cannot treat patients well even if they do not violate any rules.
What should I do if the disease cannot be cured?
We can only rely on Western medicine, which is half Chinese and half Western.
Seeing that Yun Heng understood, Kou Zhengfan smiled and asked, "Do you know why, from the very beginning, your master and the others designated West Asia Hospital as a pilot hospital?"
"The meaning of pilot project is naturally experiment. Since it is an experiment, can we make some unconventional attempts?" Yun Heng said.
"right."
Kou Zhengfan smiled and said, "This is the true responsibility of the West Asia Hospital. Only by making some achievements in this area and letting the higher-ups see the real results can we start from a small point and bring about real improvements in the environment of traditional Chinese medicine."
"Grandpa Kou, I understand."
Yun Heng understood.
All along, Yun Heng had never thought about it in this way, or rather, he didn't dare to think about it in this way.
Being a doctor means treating illnesses and saving lives, which is great. From a policy perspective, Yun Heng himself has not yet reached that level.
Yun Heng didn't have it, but Qu Tongwen, Ji Fengwen, Kou Zhengfan and others did.
For Qu Tongwen, Ji Fengwen and Kou Zhengfan, what they care about is not one more hospital or one more doctor, but the overall situation of traditional Chinese medicine.
The reason why we value geniuses is that a genius can sometimes influence many things.
As far as traditional Chinese medicine is concerned, the situation might be even worse if it were not for Xie Yunzhang and Kou Zhengfan.
In the past two or three decades, there were more famous Chinese medicine practitioners in the medical field, and there were also more experts in Chinese medicine among the people. However, as time went by, year by year, decade by decade, the old Chinese medicine practitioners gradually passed away, the experts gradually declined, and the status of traditional Chinese medicine became increasingly precarious.
When there are no influential old Chinese medicine practitioners in the upper class and no one helps traditional Chinese medicine speak out, Chinese medicine may completely fall into a colonial or semi-colonial situation, and there may not even be a possibility of recovery.
At this stage, at least some old Chinese medicine practitioners are still struggling, some Chinese medicine practitioners are still speaking out, and some Chinese medicine practitioners are still trying to save traditional Chinese medicine.
"Therefore, we must make this clear when the time comes, using the situation of West Asia Hospital over the past two years as an example, to try to gain some policy support."
Kou Zhengfan instructed Yun Heng.
"Um."
Yun Heng nodded.
I will go to see Chu Gaopeng with Dean Qi tomorrow, and we can discuss it then. With Chu Gaopeng joining Xiya Hospital, Xiya Hospital has gained some bargaining chips.
West Asia Hospital is now gradually gathering some famous Chinese medicine doctors, which is also the characteristic of West Asia Hospital. At any time, working together is more important than fighting alone.
