Ielts 雅思 口语全攻略 Ideas and Examples for ielts speaking Jeremy Chiron

How have health services improved in your country in recent years?

First of all, a lot of hospitals have been modernized, and thanks to new technologies, it is easier for doctors to make the right diagnosis (judgment). In addition, patients can enjoy a better environment: hospitals now provide more rooms and more space for patients．A lot of doctors now receive a better education, and experts share their results on their research. This really benefits people's health. In terms of policies, the government has asked some factories to produce some pills and tablets at a cheap price, and the government has distributed those medicines in the countryside to people with low incomes. On top of this, as I just told you, farmers now receive insurance from the government, so they can go to the hospital just like the people in the city.

2. 
   How well are health care staff (doctors and nurses) trained in your country?
   

They are better trained than before. Doctors in China have to study medicine for 4 or 5 years, and then pick a specialty: whether they want to become a physician（＝a general doctor＝a GP, practitioner), or a pediatrician（＝ doctor for kids), or a dermatologist（＝ skin doctor), or a gynecologist （＝ a woman's doctor). Nurses also receive professional training. Many people actually study overseas and come back to practice in China.
Not so well, in my opinion. I think that most doctors only have a Bachelor degree, and they have not acquired enough experience to deal with some serious illnesses ． I think that some hospitals in big cities have a great reputation, while others are considered to be second-rate （=second-class). If you needed to get a serious operation, you would need to get to a modern city where surgeons are specialized and professional. Services could definitely be improved.
