Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the satisfaction of village doctors to essential medicines list (EML) and accessibility of essential medicines (EMs) distribution to improve the implementation of EML in village clinics. A total of 422 village doctors from five counties in three provinces of China were surveyed by questionnaires. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify the main factors associated with village doctors' evaluation of EML. The results showed that village doctors had a negative evaluation in satisfaction level of EML to village-based care and accessibility of EM distribution. The government should adjust EML regularly based on the actual health status of local villagers in China and focus on adding appropriate drugs that meet the needs of villagers with chronic disease. The local government should also attach importance to the distribution of EMs and maintain their supply in village clinics.Entities:
