The newspaper published a list of 20 major hospitals in China, ranking them according to the mortality rate of their patients in the past three years
In some hospitals, patients stay in hospital for a long time, so the mortality rate of patients is higher. In some hospitals, patients who are terminally ill and hopeless are often mobilized to be discharged earlier, so the mortality rate of patients is lower.
 Experts pointed out that the order of the list should not be used as a criterion to evaluate the medical level of these hospitals
