Effective management of public opinion on the doctor-patient relationship network is an important element of maintaining social harmony and stability. In this paper, a new tripartite evolutionary game is proposed, the purpose of which is to examine the behavioral strategies of doctors, governments and netizens in the evolution of public opinion on the doctor-patient relationship network. Secondly, we further propose evolutionary replication dynamics equations in order to study the evolutionary stable strategies of participants. Select Shaanxi “Yulin puerpera fall from a building” as a case study, the applicability of the method was demonstrated and the main factors affecting the behavior of participants were found. Finally, we put forward suggestions on the management and control of public opinion on the doctor-patient relationship network from the four perspectives of doctors, government, media, and netizens. Research shows that the development of public opinion on the doctor-patient relationship network is the result of the joint action of multiple participants.
