According to chinanews.com, the number of registered nurses in China reached around 2.78 million in 2013, of which male nurses made up less than 2 percent. Male nurses are playing an increasingly important role in China’s healthcare system. Generally they are full of energy, physically stronger and perform well under pressure. However despite their advantages, many have difficulty accepting treatment from a male nurse, especially women who may feel embarrassed in the presence of a man during a physical exam. At the same time, they have advantages in the treatment of men’s diseases and are able to help patients feel more at ease.
