ABSTRACT
The Workers' Hospital of Huangmian Group in our city, which succeeded in separating from the enterprise and becoming commercially oriented through reforming the property right system, has made some worthwhile attempts at transforming the property right system of enterprise-owned hospitals. The experience accumulated includes: commercialization of enterprise-owned hospitals through reforming the property right system is a must in adapting to the system of the socialist market economy and setting up the system of modern enterprises; it is also a must in the current reform of the health system; reform of the property right system of enterprise-owned hospitals gave strong impetus to the reform of operational mechanisms of personnel matters, distribution and management within the hospitals; appropriate policies are the key to ensuring the success of the reform; and hospitals with transformed ownership ought to maintain their original functions and continue to undertake such social tasks as medical treatment, prevention of diseases, healthcare and supervision of public hygiene.
