Opinion
of Hong Kong Primary Care Doctors about Preventive Medicine
Author : James Dickinson, Cynthia Chan, Joyce Tang. Department
of Community & Family Medicine, Chinese University of Hong Kong
Description :
Doctors are interested in prevention, and believe it is important,
but few undertake it systematically. There is widespread uncertainty
about what preventive activities should be undertaken, on whom, and
appropriate intervals for repeating them. Doctors would like guidance
on these. They feel that the major limit to preventive activity is
limited health knowledge among the population. Limited time in the
consultation makes initiation of new topics difficult for doctors.
The doctors feel unable to introduce new preventive medicine topics
to their patients, unless asked first. They would like much more public
information and campaigns to be undertaken by government, to make
it easier for the doctors to do their part. |
