"What do you think?"
Yi Gang retorted, then said, "You’ve already ntioned it yourself, the building issue is easy to solve. We can allot it for the Traditional Chinese dicine departnt right now without any issues; it’s just sitting there anyway. But the funding for renovating it into an inpatient departnt is no small sum. Can the Health Center afford it? If not, you’ll have to seek assistance from the Developnt and Reform Commission. Do you think their review will pass? Unless you can get support from above."
Get support from above?
Ma Shanjun had an embarrassed expression. As the head of a district health bureau, he was rely a cadre at the division level. No one above even knew him. How could he get support from above?
Though ’division-level cadre’ sounds impressive, in a deputy provincial city like Yong City, it really doesn’t count for much.
This path was blocked without even needing to consider it.
Moreover, if he could get support from above, he wouldn’t have had to specifically co to Yi Gang for help.
Besides, seeking help from above for such a small matter seed like an overkill.
Seeing that Ma Shanjun wasn’t speaking, Yi Gang continued, "Let’s not talk about the funding for now. The most critical issue is the personnel allocation. That’s the toughest bit. Your project needs to at least get approval from the organization departnt, and even the city needs to agree. Without support from above, don’t even think about this project."
"Leader, is there any way to upgrade the status of Qiu City’s Health Center? Township Health Centers can definitely expand and beco stronger, and also provide safe, effective, economical, and appropriate satisfactory dical services to the public." Ma Shanjun was still unwilling to give up. Even if he couldn’t accomplish this project, if the Health Center could upgrade its status, that would be just as good, if not better. Going from a Health Center directly to a secondary hospital was even better than what Hu iqiao’s proposed project was aiming for, but doing this would be way more challenging.
As expected, no sooner had Ma Shanjun proposed this idea than Yi Gang started to protest.
"There indeed are such precedents, but do you think Qiu City’s Health Center falls under this precedent? Does it even et the conditions for an upgrade?"
Yi Gang said with irritation, "Not to ntion anything else, just the number and quality of dical personnel at Qiu City Street Health Center don’t et the standards. Secondary hospitals usually require a certain scale of hospital and dical staff, including full-ti doctors and nurses. They also need to have practicing qualifications and professional skills.
Furthermore, dical facilities and equipnt, including clinical laboratories, imaging departnts, operating rooms, ICUs, and so forth, also don’t et the standards you ntioned for this Health Center.
Of course, these aren’t even the most critical aspects yet."
Speaking up to this point, Yi Gang took a breath and said, "The most critical requirent for a secondary hospital is having no fewer than 100 dical staff, with at least 40 being doctors. Among them, a minimum of two must have senior professional titles, and at least eight must have deputy senior titles. Additionally, a secondary hospital needs a certain number of hospital beds, along with managent capabilities for patient, bed, and scheduling managent, and the ability to offer dical services beyond basic diagnosis and treatnt.
Managent should include a chest pain center, a stroke center, an ergency center, an ICU, a nuclear dicine departnt, and such dical departnts..."
Yi Gang took a breath: "Ma Shanjun, tell , what criteria does this Qiu City Health Center et?"
Ma Shanjun was too embarrassed to speak.
"Let tell you, it ets none of the criteria."
Yi Gang’s voice suddenly got louder, and he said angrily, "If it doesn’t et any criteria, can it still be upgraded? If soone else asked this question, I wouldn’t say a thing. Those outside this field naturally don’t understand, and asking such questions is normal. But you, as a health bureau director, also ask this question. I can’t help but wonder how you, Ma Shanjun, got to your position in the first place."
After finishing his words, Yi Gang threw the materials onto the table, clearly genuinely angry.
Ma Shanjun realized that his question was substandard. He knew full well the conditions for upgrading the health center, but he still hoped Yi Gang might find so solutions. Unexpectedly, he ended up provoking Yi Gang’s anger instead.
He could only give an awkward smile, taking quite a while for Yi Gang’s temper to subside.
Of course, Yi Gang understood Ma Shanjun’s intentions and finally said earnestly, "Old Ma, the one who made you co here for a scolding must be soone from your old team, right?"
"Yes, it’s an old subordinate from my hospital days, Hu iqiao. Now she’s the director of the Qiu City Street Health Center. To keep that doctor nad Lu Xuan, she wants to achieve sothing significant, so she initiated such a project. I couldn’t stand up to the female staff and had no choice but to agree."
Ma Shanjun said helplessly, "You know how soft-hearted I am. I can reject others coldly, but with her, I just can’t do it. I had to agree, knowing full well this project’s application is extrely challenging, possibly impossible. I just wanted to give it a try by coming here."
"Hu iqiao?"
"I’ve heard of her, but we’re not close."
Yi Gang nodded, thought for a mont, and said, "Your project isn’t entirely without hope. You’ll need to seek support from above. Without support from above, neither you nor I could push it through."
Seek support from above?
Who knows there at all!
Ma Shanjun smiled bitterly, "Getting support from above seems more unlikely than running the project myself. After all, as a re division-level cadre, I wouldn’t even know how to approach those halls to seek support."
Hearing this, Yi Gang nodded slightly.
Not just for Ma Shanjun; even for him as a deputy district chief, it’s the sa.
