The Shanghai Municipal Health Commission has issued the “Implementation Rules for the Nine Guidelines for Clean and Honest Employment of Medical Institution Staff in Shanghai,” marking a significant step towards enhancing integrity and professionalism within the city’s medical community. The rules aim to address a range of misconduct, including commercial commissions, fraudulent insurance scams, excessive diagnosis and treatment, illegal donation acceptance, leakage of patient privacy, illegal profit making by taking advantage of one’s position, violation of medical fairness, acceptance of patients’ “red envelopes,” and collection of kickbacks.
The guidelines mandate immediate rectification of any discovered issues and call for prompt disciplinary action or referral to relevant authorities for violations of discipline or law. This proactive approach emphasizes the importance of self-inspection and self-correction within medical institutions to ensure compliance and maintain public trust.
Medical institution staff, including health professionals, management personnel, logistics personnel, and other social workers providing services within these institutions, are required to adhere to the Implementation Rules. Compliance with these regulations is essential to ensure proper management and strict implementation across all facets of medical practice.
The Shanghai Health Commission’s initiative reflects a broader effort to reform and uplift the standards of medical ethics and service quality, aligning with the city’s commitment to providing clean, honest, and efficient healthcare services to its residents.- Flcube.com
