"What if there's cooperation with local medical institutes?" Manbao sat up and said to Bai Shan, "Zheng Gu told me that the development of local medical institutes is very restricted, and the common people find it hard to trust them. They also have to compete with medical halls and pharmacies for patients, which makes them very unpopular. Until they gain trust, the doctors in these institutes are quite idle."
"Moreover, even if the local medical institutes take root, they can collaborate with the garrison." Manbao had been pondering this issue these past few days.
Currently, the army doesn't have much money to support military doctors, but they can cooperate with local medical institutes, just like how Governor Niu snatched doctors from local medical halls.
Ahem, of course, the army cannot snatch doctors from the Imperial Medical Institute. Either way, they have to be paid. By offering double salaries and setting some rules, both responsibility and benefit would ensure they go.
