What is the reason for the suspension of Guangzhou Shixian Ophthalmology Department?
Guangzhou is the economic center and one of the important cities in southern China, with many top medical institutions and eye clinics. However, there are occasional cases of suspension of the outpatient service of the optometry department, which has brought some problems to patients and citizens. So, what is the reason for the suspension of Guangzhou Shixian Ophthalmology Department? It is elaborated from the following aspects.
1. Insufficient expert resources
Guangzhou is one of the famous medical centers in China, attracting a large number of patients and medical resources. However, ophthalmologist resources are limited, and the situation of demand exceeding supply is becoming increasingly prominent. Since Guangzhou has several well-known ophthalmic hospitals, there is a large flow of patients, and the appointment time of the expert outpatient service is often scheduled to months or even years later, which limits the choice of patients and increases the possibility of stopping the outpatient service.
In addition, some experts are prone to physical discomfort and fatigue due to long-term work stress, and need to take leave and adjust. This is also one of the reasons that led to the suspension of Guangzhou Shixian Ophthalmology Department.
2. Medical equipment failure
Most eye hospitals and outpatient clinics in Guangzhou are equipped with advanced medical equipment, such as laser surgery equipment, corneal contact lens tester, etc. However, these equipment may also fail and require maintenance and commissioning. When the equipment breaks down, the outpatient department of the optometry department has to stop the diagnosis, which brings some inconvenience to the patients.
In addition to equipment failure, some hospitals may also stop diagnosis due to equipment renewal and replacement to provide better medical services. In this case, the hospital will notify the patient in advance and resume normal outpatient service as soon as possible.
3. Impact of epidemic situation
Since 2020, the global outbreak of COVID-19 has become one of the main factors affecting the medical industry. As one of the important cities in China, Guangzhou is also inevitably affected by the epidemic.
During the epidemic, medical institutions need to strengthen prevention and control measures to ensure the safety of medical personnel and patients. This may lead to the suspension of some ophthalmic clinics to reduce the risk of cross infection. Suspension during the epidemic is usually temporary. Once the epidemic is controlled, the hospital will resume normal operation.
4. Hospital reconstruction and maintenance
In order to provide better medical services, Guangzhou's eye hospitals have been constantly reforming and maintaining. This includes reconstruction and expansion of medical facilities, decoration and equipment upgrading. In this process, the outpatient department of ophthalmology may need to stop to ensure the safety of construction personnel and patients.
Hospital reconstruction and maintenance are usually carried out with advance notification to patients to reduce the impact on patients. During the suspension period, the hospital will try to arrange other hospitals to provide corresponding ophthalmic services.
summary
The reasons for the suspension of Guangzhou Shixian Ophthalmology Clinic can be explained from the aspects of insufficient expert resources, medical equipment failure, epidemic impact, hospital reconstruction and maintenance, etc. Although the suspension of medical treatment brings some inconvenience to patients and citizens, it is out of the consideration of improving the quality of medical service and ensuring the safety of medical staff and patients. The medical level of ophthalmology in Guangzhou is still higher than the national average, and patients can choose other hospitals for medical treatment to ensure eye health.
