Less than two weeks before the Legislative Council election, five people competed for one seat in the medical and health sector, and the battle was fierce.
In an interview with "Hong Kong 01", the Central Committee Member of the Nurses Association, He Chenghan, said that he has work experience in public and private organizations and is the only person who understands primary care.
He emphasized that the representatives elected this time not only speak for the voters, but can improve the entire Hong Kong medical system. Therefore, he hopes that voters of all political philosophies can come out and vote for those who lead the development of the medical and health sector.
The third reading of the Legislative Council earlier passed the relaxation of the introduction of overseas doctors. Ho Chung-han believes that "doctors have had problems all the way, and it is protectionism." He also believed that if a western doctor is elected to the Legislative Council, "it’s protectionist society Look up even more."
He Chenghan said that if he was a member of Parliament at that time, he would support the motion, but the main prerequisite was to balance the interests of stakeholders. When introducing overseas doctors, he must be screened and coordinated with medical colleges and medical schools to ensure quality.

Prevent diseases, reduce unnecessary hospitalizations and relieve pressure on wards
After the election reform, the original "medical sector" and "health service sector" were merged into the "medical sector". This sector still maintains individual votes, of which more than 40,000 are voters in the health service sector and more than 10,000 are voters. Voters in the medical profession.
Whether he has an advantage from the nursing association, He Chenghan said that he would not particularly mention the advantage, but he emphasized that the current composition of voters is diversified. While he is concerned about the rights of nurses, he will also take into account other professional sectors.

He mentioned that the first is to promote disease prevention and reduce the number of patients admitted to relieve the pressure on the emergency department; the second is to promote the recovery and discharge of patients as soon as possible. You can live for five or seven days, but if you have five thousand mosquitoes per bed, there is no need to live for two more days for an antibiotic."
He Chenghan suggested that the patient should be allowed to go home, and then the nurse would come to inject antibiotics. "It is convenient and the patient's satisfaction is high, and he does not occupy a bed."
For the other four candidates, Ho Chung-han did not name them. One of the candidates, Chen Zizhong, had worked as a manager in Tuen Mun Hospital for many years and had no experience in other private organizations. He questioned whether he was sufficiently representative to represent the industry.
He also mentioned that Pang Ailan, a pharmacist, lacks government experience, but believes that the other party has experience in serving the community and that it is appropriate to serve as a district councillor.

He Chenghan: The past positioning is returned by the public

He also emphasized that the elected representatives will not only speak for the voters, but can improve the entire Hong Kong medical system. "Everyone Housing companies, friends, and even the people of Hong Kong will benefit, but they will do it if they choose one. In the end, people who have no experience in this field will have to explore and do things from the beginning. In the end, we paid for four years. There is no progress, and the whole Hong Kong has to pay the price."
When asked whether Li Guolin, who was then chairman of the National Association of Nursing, participated in the primary election last year, He Chenghan only said, "I think every member of the Central Committee of the Association of Nursing has its own ideas and decides to participate in the election." As for whether the Association of Nursing has in the past Too politicized.

Refers to the strike of medical workers to strive for more transparent quarantine in China and Hong Kong
In the early days of the epidemic last year, many medical staff went on strike and demanded that the government shut down customs. He Chenghan believes that the strikers have been punished to some extent, such as salary deductions during the strike.
He also said that "He has tried his best to strike without affecting patient services." He also believed that "What he was fighting for at the time was not labor-intensive." Instead, he hoped to strive for greater transparency in quarantine in China and Hong Kong.
He Chenghan said that the current epidemic communication between the two places is rapid and effective, and it can also ensure that there is no infection in the local area. "Everyone is going to comment on what they did to set Hong Kong on their own."
When asked whether the relevant practices are appropriate, he said, "We don’t think we can do a certain thing, but the government is quick to respond. The fact is that after relevant activities are carried out, the government has quickly sealed the customs. The same thing is not true. I can't answer it."
Said that if Western medicine is successfully elected, "protectionism" will rise
Before the end of the last legislative session, the "Doctor Registration (Amendment) Bill 2021" was passed in the third reading. In order to introduce non-locally trained doctors to increase the way of exemption from registration, the motion was only voted against by the medical legislator, Chen Peiran, and was asked If he was a member of Parliament, would he oppose it in the same way?
He Chenghan said that doctors are currently understaffed, and nearly 90% of patients use government medical services. However, doctors "have problems all the way, it is protectionism." He also emphasized that "if a western doctor is really selected for this position, he Protectionism will rise even more."
He Chenghan also pointed out that many overseas doctors are graduates of Cambridge and Oxford universities and have rich experience. When introducing overseas doctors, they must be screened and coordinated with medical colleges and medical schools to ensure quality.
He Chenghan believes that the Hong Kong medical system has always relied on doctors as the center in the past. He suggested that in the future, a joint group of Chinese and Western medicine, nurses and professional medical care should be formed to reduce the burden on doctors.

He Chenghan continued that the Hong Kong medical system has always relied on doctors in the past, and suggested that in the future, a joint group of Chinese, Western medicine, nurses, and professional medical care should be formed to reduce the burden on doctors. "Many jobs in foreign countries can actually decentralize (doctors). Many foreign countries do not require referrals for physical therapy. Hong Kong is just a piece of referral paper. It takes five minutes to check out the doctor’s office and then go to the physical therapy.”
He did not mention by name that another candidate, Lin Zhexuan, a surgical specialist, is twice as expensive as a general ward to perform cecal surgery in a private hospital. They all do it in the same operating room and the same class of nurses, but they charge 30,000 yuan.” I think this will affect public-private cooperation. “If you choose it, do you think it will return and reduce the fees uniformly? Tong Han emphasized that it is not that private doctors are not allowed to make money, but that it is necessary to strike a balance while making money.
