Shortage of doctors bad for SAR's patients

I am concerned about the standard of medical services provided in Hong Kong.

There is a shortage of doctors, so the doctors we have cannot meet public needs. More doctors are required to serve the community.

This would shorten the time required by patients who contract chronic diseases and have to queue to see government specialists.

The time given to the patient for consultation could also be lengthened.

A more accurate diagnosis could be obtained, as the patient would have more time to give additional details of his symptoms and past medical history.

It important that a doctor should be a caring person. He should not just cure disease but also give useful advice to patients, explaining how they can maintain good health.
