Disadvantages of Shenzhen's first-class medical insurance tied to social medical care

Limited choices and scattered medical resources.

1. Choice restriction: After the social health is bound, patients can see the designated social health institutions, which limits the right of patients to choose medical treatment, especially those who need a specific hospital or specialty.

2. Decentralized medical resources: As patients are guided to social health institutions, the burden of other medical institutions increases, especially the demand for outpatient and emergency services and specialist clinics in general hospitals and large medical institutions increases, resulting in unbalanced resources.
