The Fujian Provincial Bureau of Commodity Price and Fujian Provincial
Health and Family Planning Commission said on Nov 18 that it will
adjust the costs of medical services - including emergency services –
from Dec 15.
The commission decided to raise the prices of emergency treatments
due to increasing costs - such as those involving operating ambulances -
in recent years. The fee for transport by ambulance has been increased
from 25 yuan($4.12)to 35 yuan, and use of a stretcher will cost another
30 yuan,and psychologist will cost another 100 yuan.
The fee for a consultation with a doctor has also increased - a
consultation with any doctor up to the grade of supervisor now costs 15
yuan, and a consultation with an associate professor of medicine and
above will cost 20 yuan.
The new prices cover a wide range of treatments, including in the fields of neurosurgery, radiotherapy and physiotherapy.
