On January 22 this year, the Honghuagang District People’s Court of Zunyi City publicly pronounced the first instance verdict on the case of the evil criminal group of Zunyi Huichuan Eurasia Hospital. The defendant Han was convicted of fraud, extortion, and intentional injury. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison, fined 9.2 million yuan, and deprived of political rights for five years. Other leaders and members of the evil criminal group were sentenced to prison terms ranging from three years to 19 years and six months, and were also fined. Not long ago, the second instance of this case announced its verdict and upheld the original verdict.
The defendant Zunyi Eurasian Hospital promotes itself as a comprehensive men’s hospital integrating medical, preventive, health care and rehabilitation services. In May 2014, Han, a native of Fujian, served as the general manager of Eurasia Hospital. He organized relatives and fellow villagers from his hometown to build himself into the most professional men's hospital in Southwest China through extensive advertising.
The deception method is to use customer service staff to constantly chat with people online, ask about the condition, ask people to come to the hospital for examination, and then induce the patient to lie in the operating room for invasive examination, which is to lie about suddenly discovering that the patient has various symptoms. This serious symptom requires immediate surgical treatment, which makes the family members anxious. Due to the information asymmetry between doctors and patients, most patients and family members will obediently pay for it when they hear the doctor's persuasion. Zunyi Eurasian Hospital has a term called "single development cost", which stipulates that the single development cost must be more than 8,000 to be considered qualified.
If the patient notices something is wrong at this time, refuses the operation, and wants to leave, Zunyi Eurasia Hospital will also have a way to deal with it. That is to say, the doctor will tell you that it is okay to leave, but the hospital will not be responsible if any problems occur. Most people are forced to pay for surgery in this situation.
Extended information:
In the four years from the establishment of Zunyi Eurasian Hospital in 2014 to the time it was investigated by the police in 2018, more than 20,000 patients went to the hospital for treatment. The people have suffered multiple damages to property and body and mind. They forged test results, created false medical conditions, "raised the knife and increased the price" on the operating table, blackmailed and threatened patients, and the methods were shocking.
One of the reasons why this hospital has been so popular for a long time is that some supervisors do not act, act indiscriminately, cover up and connive, and harm the public and enrich themselves. Socially run hospitals are the direction of our country’s medical reform.
As of the end of April 2020, there were 35,000 hospitals in the country, including 23,000 private hospitals. How to encourage and develop private medical institutions while also supervising and standardizing their development is worthy of consideration and attention.
