Under the epidemic, a public hospital in Leshan closed down. Why does the epidemic affect hospitals?
The epidemic will affect the hospital, because during the epidemic, the operating cost of the hospital will increase, and the number of people who see a doctor may decrease because of the epidemic. Hospitals are places where people gather. In order to avoid going to the hospital, some mild patients will choose simple treatment or even no treatment.

Leshan closed the public hospital. Before the outbreak, its operating conditions were not very good. The loss is as high as 20 million yuan, and many suppliers are still owed money. It is precisely because of this situation that the hospital closed down due to poor management. The epidemic has had a great impact, affecting almost all walks of life. Personally, I think there are two main reasons why the epidemic will affect hospitals.

A, the outbreak of the epidemic, let the hospital operating costs increase is an important work of epidemic prevention and control, especially for public places, more need strict prevention and control, to prevent it from becoming the source of the epidemic leakage and spread. In the daily operation process, major hospitals will increase personnel to prevent and control the epidemic. Personnel work is embodied in three aspects: disinfection at the entrance, hospital area and epidemic prevention.

The short-term investment in epidemic prevention and control is affordable for hospitals, and the normalization of epidemic prevention and control will make the cost shocking. Many weak hospitals will be unable to bear the cost. The diversion of hospital staff to epidemic prevention and control will also affect the daily operation and economic benefits of the hospital.

Second, the outbreak of the epidemic, let the number of medical treatment decline to prevent the COVID-19 epidemic, the best way is to do personal protection, but also to avoid going to crowded places. Hospitals are places where people gather and there are many patients. In such a big environment, even before the outbreak, many people are reluctant to go, not to mention after the outbreak.

After the outbreak of the epidemic, some people's concept of seeking medical treatment has also changed greatly. In addition to reducing going out, I don't want to go to a crowded place like a hospital. If you feel unwell, it may be more convenient to treat in a nearby clinic, the number of patients will be reduced, and the income of the hospital will also be reduced.

As a place to heal the wounded and rescue the dying, the hospital I want to see close down is not because of poor management, but because the number of patients has decreased and people have become healthy.
