Longer outpatient service hours
( 2003-09-09 12:35) (China Daily)
Eight hospitals in Shanghai recently announced longer outpatient service
hours, reports Shanghai Morning Post.
Previously, outpatient service at public hospitals in the city was available
from 7:30 am to 11:00 am and 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm Monday to Friday, overlapping
the working hours of most office employees.
And the majority of hospitals did not offer outpatient services over the
weekend either.
Party Secretary Chen Liangyu said the problem was common to all public
welfare sectors and called for a change.
Eight hospitals are taking the lead to expand service hours for the
convenience of the public.
