Improving rural doctors’ professional competence: effectiveness analysis of China’s village doctors policy
The Village Doctor Policy enhanced the professionalization of village doctors and strengthened Village doctor corps. This policy transformed the "half doctor, half farmer" status of village doctors to "unit members," promoting their professional development and improving medical service quality. It is recommended that the government continue to promote localized rural employment policies to enhance the motivation and incentives of health care professionals.
