The poor wait longer on waiting lists and have less access to elective treatment than more affluent groups. Hospitals have a long way to go if they are to ensure a more equitable system. Managing waiting lists to discriminate in favour of the poor should be considered.
与较为富裕的群体相比,贫困人群在等候名单上等待的时间更长,获得选择性治疗的机会更少。如果医院要确保建立一个更加公平的体系,还有很长的路要走。应该考虑管理等候名单,以便优先照顾贫困人群。
