As an auxiliary means of Christian communication,church medical has played a certain role in promoting the development of Christianity in Henan.The development of church hospitals in Henan,It is not smooth sailing.During the initial period,the number of missionaries was small and the funds were limited.The development of church hospitals did not form a scale,and the impact on society was small.The state has not yet incorporated them into formal management.In order to establish a foothold in the locality,church hospitals have become more localized.With the emphasis and input of Christianity to Henan,the church hospital has gradually grown and established a more formal hospital bed and clinic,which has attracted local people to seek medical advice.The government began to supervise and manage church hospitals.The church also sought medical cooperation with the government,and the localization of church hospitals was greatly deepened.However,due to the influence of the war,the development of church hospitals has experienced some stagnation and retrogression,which provides an opportunity for localization.In the process of localization of the church hospital,medical missionaries represented by Luo Guangpu created a new type of rural medical network,which united church hospitals,church hospital branches,joint clinics and barefoot doctors to form a graded medical center with Henan characteristics.The network has promoted the development of localization of church hospitals.The nurse school and medical class set up by the church hospital,combined with the custom of Henan,creatively cultivated male nurses and set up courses according to the actual situation in Henan.The establishment of nurse schools and medical classes is an important manifestation of the professionalization and localization of Henan Church Hospital.In the daily work,the church hospital popularizes medical and health knowledge to the people of Henan,actively participates in the public health of the government,and gradually participates in the daily life of the people,reflecting the deepening of the localization of the church hospital.On the basis of an in-depth understanding of Henan's traditional medical habits,the church hospital gradually introduced Western nursing and hospitalization systems to give people a transition and adaptation process.The introduction of nursing and hospitalization system not only reflects the localization of the church hospital,but also shows the professional side of the church hospital.Church hospitals can change from time to time and change direction due to the management.From free medical care to level charging;the number of Chinese doctors continues to increase until they are in the management role of the hospital;the hospital is also engaged in different medical activities and other measures in different periods,making the church hospital secular and localized more obvious.The localization of church hospitals has played an active role in promoting the exchange and collision of Chinese and Western medicine culture in Henan,and has changed the traditional medical concept of the Central Plains people.The nurse school and medical class in the church hospital has trained a large number of medical personnel in Henan,and has reserved excellent reserve forces.In the daily work,the church hospital changed the traditional concept of childbearing in Henan,accelerated the process of women's professionalization,and spread the idea of women's liberation.The church hospital played a certain role in the construction of local hospitals and clinics in Henan,and promoted the development of Henan's medical and health undertakings.
