It is not easy to set up security checks in hospitals

It is understood that, This hospital is currently the first hospital in Guangxi to implement security inspections.

In fact, as early as 2017, The former National Health and Family Planning Commission, the Ministry of Public Security and the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine jointly issued the \”Opinions on Strictly Preventing and Controlling Medical-related Illegal Crimes and Maintaining Normal Medical Order\”, proposing to increase security inspections and security measures in medical institutions, requiring hospitals at level 2 and above Carry out security inspections and install monitoring equipment that meets requirements.

However, not only Guangxi but also most hospitals across the country have been slow to take the step of \”security inspection\”. The vice president of a tertiary hospital in Nanning said that although setting up a security check link is an effective means, it is difficult to actually set up a security check in the hospital.

It is reported that most hospitals are not closed well and have many external passages, making it difficult to form a safe area, so the security check is in vain.

In addition, the distribution of functional areas within many hospitals is relatively scattered, resulting in patients being seen and examined in different areas. It is difficult to complete one security check, and multiple security checks add cumbersome procedures, which will cause patients to dissatisfied.

Furthermore, the people, property and property involved in the security check need to be borne by the hospital itself, which is a large expense. This is one of the reasons why most hospitals have not implemented it.

What do citizens think?

Citizen Mr. Chen said that the previous murder of a female emergency doctor at the Civil Aviation General Hospital was shocking. Hospitals should carry out safety inspections to prevent recurrence of violent incidents. \”If medical staff do not have safety guarantees, patients will also be affected.\”

Some citizens said that the scope of security checks should be more comprehensive. For example, the current security checks in the hospital are only for pedestrians, and driving in and out of the hospital is not restricted. There are still loopholes.
