Are Hong Kong medical costs the most expensive in the country and can the average person afford them?

Hong Kong's medical costs are still relatively high, the average person should still not be able to accept.

In fact, Hong Kong's healthcare system is a bit different from that of the mainland, with relatively few public hospitals in Hong Kong and more private hospitals. Because the public hospitals in Hong Kong are still relatively cheap to see a doctor, so many people run to the public hospitals, which creates the problem of difficult to see a doctor, public hospitals are very crowded, everyone to see a doctor, need to wait in line for a long time.

And for public hospitals in Hong Kong, they are generally less likely to accept patients from outside the city, because there are just so many local people in Hong Kong, and there is definitely geographic protection.

Even for Hong Kong locals, it's the same thing, so it's actually the majority of people in Hong Kong who also run to private hospitals for medical treatment, which has become a habit for them. And in fact, many people in Hong Kong are still economically viable, after all, Hong Kong is considered to be more developed compared to many places in the Mainland,even if the price of private hospitals is relatively high, they will also choose.

The main reason is also because the queues at public hospitals are too long, and if you choose private hospitals, not only is the quality of service good, but you don't need to wait, If you can spend some of the money to have your loved ones' family members treated better, I think they would be willing to do so.

But for many ordinary people in the Mainland, if they go to them for medical treatment, the choice of private hospitals should be very inappropriate, because the cost is really high, can only sigh a word, money is really good, and more importantly is not worth it, after all, many public hospitals in the Mainland medical standards are also very high, or try to earn money.
