Why is the recent physical examination "difficult to make appointments"?
News from our newspaper (Reporter Liu Huan) "Help! May I ask which other district in the city can arrange a medical examination within this month?" Recently, people in the circle of friends often complain about medical examinations.
In the past few days, the reporter visited the Beijing Medical Examination Center and some medical institutions that provide medical examination services and found that, in addition to the backlog of the epidemic in the first half of the year, many groups and individuals have undergone physical examinations, which caused the city’s medical examination institutions to be "difficult to make appointments." Factors such as the tide of employment and the increase in public health awareness.
"My job was finally decided. I didn't expect the entry medical examination to be difficult." Ms. Chen recently received an admission notice from a favorite company, and the company's human resources department asked her to provide an entry medical examination report within two weeks. .
However, after successively inquiring about several nearby medical examination institutions, Ms. Chen was told that the medical examination quota was full within two weeks.
After tossing around, she finally got an appointment for a physical examination at a secondary hospital in Fengtai District.
"I didn't expect the physical examination to be so difficult to make appointments. Fortunately, nothing went wrong." Ms. Chen said.
At present, with the improvement of the city’s epidemic prevention and control situation, many units have also ushered in a small recruitment climax at the end of the year.
"Many companies now want to make a big hit in the last two months of the end of the year. More work naturally needs manpower, so there are more new employees." A private company manager said.
Ms. Ren’s unit regularly conducts employee medical examinations at the iKang Guobin Medical Examination Center every year.
Seeing that the deadline for this year's medical examination is approaching, at the end of last month, she wanted to have a medical examination at the Ciqikou branch near her home, but was told that it could only be scheduled on December 1 at the earliest.
In the end, Ms. Ren had to choose a branch far away from home, which was already half a month away.
Why is the medical examination so popular this year?
During the interview, the relevant person in charge of the Beijing Medical Examination Center told reporters that due to the epidemic, the Beijing Medical Examination Center had been unstable in the first half of the year. Even when the door was opened, the reception volume for physical examinations had been reduced by more than half.
"It wasn't until July this year that the Beijing Municipal Physical Examination Center began to resume medical examinations for the public." The person in charge said that from about September, the demand for medical examinations in the city has suddenly increased.
Currently, the three physical examination branches of the Beijing Municipal Physical Examination Center, Fengtai, Hangtianqiao and Madian, have a total of about 800 medical examination appointments per day.
"This is our saturated reception volume. In order to cope with the peak of medical examinations, we are adding people and adding posts every day, and now all staff are basically open. But in order to reduce the time when people gather and stay in the physical examination places, we also adopt We also ask the general public to understand such measures as reservation diversion and quota restrictions."
Affected by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, in the first half of this year, the medical examination centers of some medical institutions in this city basically suspended their services, and some hospitals have not fully resumed relevant services until now.
Some hospitals that have resumed physical examination services are also very popular for appointments.
Among them, the medical examination of the health management center of Beijing Tsinghua Chang Gung Memorial Hospital has been scheduled until the end of December this year, and the personal medical examination is scheduled until mid-December.
"The number of appointments for medical examinations this year is indeed higher than in previous years. The impact of the epidemic is the main reason." Ding Lei, deputy director of the Health Management Center of Beijing Tsinghua Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, analyzed that during the epidemic, the hospital has always advocated scientific medical treatment. In principle, "as little as possible is unnecessary. Go to the hospital.” Therefore, most medical institutions that provide physical examination services have suspended physical examination services.
Recently, affected by factors such as the peak period of employment, various institutions have seen a situation of getting together for medical examination appointments.
During the interview, the reporter also found that the new crown pneumonia epidemic that has swept the world has raised public health awareness, which has also become one of the reasons for the increase in the number of personal medical examination appointments.
"The epidemic has caused everyone to pay more attention to their health, and I am a little worried that the epidemic may repeat in autumn and winter, so I want to hurry up and have a physical examination." The words of citizen Ms. Wang expressed the voice of many people.
In addition, in order to meet the requirements of epidemic prevention and control, many medical examination institutions in this city have appropriately reduced the reception volume. Citizens who want to have a physical examination should make arrangements for their time.
