Murder of doctor highlights tensions over China healthcare

The Chinese government passed a comprehensive basic health care law, but the murder of a doctor in Beijing has focused attention on the problem of violence against medical staff.

The murder of a doctor in Beijing has overshadowed the passage of a law designed to improve basic health care services in China, and has put a spotlight on the problems the law is trying to fix.

The fatal stabbing was the latest in a string of attacks on medical staff by angry patients and their relatives. Tensions are being fueled by a lack of resources and limited services at many medical facilities.

In the latest incident, the doctor Yang Wen was stabbed in the neck on Christmas Eve following a row with the relatives of a 95-year-old stroke victim at the Civil Aviation General Hospital in Beijing. She died the following day.

Doctors said the patient’s family had dismissed repeated suggestions that the woman should undergo additional checks after she suffered a stroke, according to state television.
But they became angry when the patient’s condition continued to deteriorate and questioned if she was being treated properly.

The woman’s son, Sun Wenbin, has since been arrested on suspicion of intentional homicide.

Despite an outpouring of public anger over the attack and public sympathy for Yang, the patient’s family reportedly showed little remorse. They have transferred the patient to another hospital.The tragedy overshadowed the passage of the country’s first fundamental and comprehensive law on basic medical and health care services, which was approved on Saturday and will take effect on June 1, 2020.
