It is difficult to make an appointment for children in Guangzhou Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department
Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department in Guangzhou is a well-known hospital specialized in treating ophthalmic diseases, but the problem of children's patient appointment has been puzzling parents. We will elaborate on this issue in the following aspects.
Lack of hospital resources
First of all, as one of the largest ophthalmic hospitals in Guangzhou and even in South China, Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department receives many patients every day, including a large number of children. Limited hospital resources lead to difficulties in pediatric ophthalmology appointment. It is often necessary to wait in line when making an appointment, and sometimes even if you wait in line, you cannot get a satisfactory appointment result.
Secondly, the particularity of pediatric ophthalmology also leads to resource shortage. Pediatric ophthalmic diseases often require extra patience and care to diagnose and treat, so doctors spend more time in serving pediatric patients, which also limits the number of doctors and appointments.
In addition, the level of doctors and technicians is also one of the reasons why pediatric ophthalmology appointment is difficult. Zhongshan Ophthalmology has a group of excellent expert teams, and these top doctors spend most of their time on surgery or diagnosis and treatment of serious diseases, resulting in fewer doctors to choose when making appointments.
Long visit cycle
Pediatric ophthalmic diseases usually require long-term treatment, and different conditions require different treatment cycles. In Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department, some common pediatric ophthalmic diseases, such as strabismus, amblyopia, ametropia adjustment, strabismus, etc., often require long-term regular treatment and review.
Due to the shortage of doctors' resources, it is difficult to ensure that every patient can receive timely treatment through appointment. Therefore, the treatment cycle of pediatric ophthalmic diseases tends to lengthen, which is a considerable challenge for small patients in urgent need of treatment. Parents have to face a long wait and anxiety.
Moreover, the early treatment of pediatric ophthalmic diseases is crucial to prevent the complications of subsequent development. Therefore, the difficulties of pediatric ophthalmology appointment also indirectly affect the vision rehabilitation and disease control of children.
High medical fees
Moreover, the treatment cost of pediatric ophthalmic diseases is often high. Whether it is the first visit or the second visit, the medical expenses that patients need to pay should not be underestimated. For some families with financial difficulties, the high cost has also become an important factor in their difficulty in making appointments.
At the same time, children may need to wear glasses, vision training and other auxiliary treatment measures during the treatment of eye diseases, and these costs also need to be borne by the patients themselves. For some parents, they may also need to spend working time with their children to see a doctor, which also indirectly increases the family's financial burden.
Although Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department has launched social assistance and medical insurance reimbursement measures to alleviate this problem, it is still unable to completely solve the cost problem, and it is difficult to meet the appointment needs of children with large demand.
Summary
As for the difficulty of pediatric ophthalmology appointment, it mainly exists in the shortage of hospital resources, long consultation cycle and high medical fees. These problems directly affect the medical experience and treatment effect of small patients. Therefore, for the government and hospitals, it is necessary to commit to increasing the input of medical resources, improving service efficiency, and introducing more preferential policies to improve the medical experience and rehabilitation effect of pediatric ophthalmic patients.
