Doctors, dentists find private path healthier 2015-07-27
INCREASING numbers of Shanghai’s more experienced doctors and dentists are leaving the city’s public hospitals to set up private group practices.
It’s a new trend. In the past, doctors who left public hospitals usually moved on to private hospitals, seeking better work conditions and higher pay.
Dr Ji Guoping, a leading dentist at Shanghai No. 9 People’s Hospital, recently quit to open a private dental clinic. A group of businessmen helped finance the new venture. Three other dentists left the same public hospital with him to join the new practice.
