Neither the city nor the village hospitals seem to be over-crowded. The explanation is that most medical care in China is provided by the barefoot doctors'. Consequently, only the difficult cases find their way to the local hospitals and even fewer are passed on to the specialized hospitals tor. treatment.. The barefoot doctors seem to have caught the imagination of people in the West.
