After coronary stents, what other medical devices would you like to see come down in price?

Medical equipment is undoubtedly an essential part of the treatment process of most diseases, which also means that once the price of medical equipment is too high, it will indirectly lead to higher treatment costs, and this is obviously the majority of patients do not want to see, recently China's health insurance bureau announced a price reduction of coronary stents, immediately attracted a wide range of people's favorable comments, I am one of them. The intuitive impact of the price reduction of medical equipment is to reduce the cost of treatment, the same will be true after the price reduction of coronary stents, and in addition to the coronary stent, I also hope that the price reduction of two medical equipment, that is, wheelchairs and artificial kidney equipment.

I believe we are more familiar with the wheelchair, most of the people in the legs and feet can not walk, will choose to buy a wheelchair as a means of mobility, and the wheelchair is strictly speaking belongs to a kind of medical equipment, subject to the supervision of the relevant departments of our country, if the wheelchair can be reduced in price if bound to be The most important thing is that you will be able to save a lot of money. While the price of an ordinary wheelchair is not very expensive, but after all, it is a widely used tool, and the price of a good quality wheelchair is usually more than a thousand dollars, if the price can be appropriately lowered then it is definitely a benefit for the patient.

In addition to the wheelchair, I think there is another medical device that needs to be reduced in price, which is the artificial kidney device.



Artificial kidney is a hemodialysis device, for kidney failure and uremia patients with severe illnesses, this equipment is essential, generally speaking, the price of hemodialysis in the one thousand dollars or so, although the price is not very expensive, but the hemodialysis is a long-term treatment, if it is a thousand dollars a month, then the long-term past is also a quite expensive price. Once the price of the artificial kidney device is reduced, it will definitely make the patients with kidney failure or uremia see the hope of life again.

In summary, after the coronary stent, I also hope that the wheelchair and artificial kidney equipment to reduce the price, especially if the artificial kidney equipment if you can reduce the price of the patient will certainly save a lot of money, after all, hemodialysis is a long-term treatment, even if it is a reduction in the price of one hundred dollars per month for a long time is also a considerable amount of money.
