The ambulance, also known as the "emergency vehicle", is a "life-saving vehicle" that saves lives and races against the clock when a patient suffers a sudden and serious illness or emergency. The ambulance and the duty officer are all 360 days, 24 hours a day in an emergency state valuable medical resources.
Hospital ambulance is free to use
Because the ambulance is a rare resource, there are certain conditions to apply for the allocation of ambulances, which is called the rational allocation of resources, the number of ambulances is limited. But calling 120 is free. The ambulance is generally to rescue moderate to severe patients, it car needs to be configured with some special equipment, first aid, general general patients are not recommended to use the ambulance.120 center is a system that operates 365 days a year and requires a large amount of operating costs, the center consists of dispatchers, operators, drivers, paramedics, etc., personnel salaries, vehicle maintenance, equipment updates, fuel costs and other expenditures.
The ambulance charges to avoid public **** resources are occupied. No charge, many colds, coughs and other minor illnesses will call 120, charges can also avoid some mischief. But special times, the ambulance does not charge. For example, the current transfer of patients with suspected and confirmed new coronary pneumonia, the transfer of patients with fever from infected areas or infected areas.
Poor people who really need help must also pay ambulance fees
This is not to worry, most hospitals are almost all the emergency room in the operation of the money, our emergency medical staff is also flesh and blood of the people, to see those who are really very difficult patients, the system permits, can try to charge as little as possible on the less charge, do not go against the principle of the items can be waived fees are as much as possible! The government has also been working on a number of projects to improve the quality of education.
The country's medical care for the poor is also very high, requiring the establishment of a record of poor households with out-of-pocket expenses of no more than 10%, special hardship groups can also turn to the government and civil affairs, it can be said that the ambulance charges, and is not in the difficult, just now the current environment can only be used in such a way to try to improve the people's emergency environment and the quality of medical care. Of course, I personally look forward to the majority of netizens can come up with a more foolproof way to promote better medical policy as soon as possible, so that the relationship between the tensions in the medical environment as soon as possible to improve!
Why not use it for free
In fact, it makes sense that ambulances should not be free, not only should they not be free, but they should also be charged at a higher rate. Saying this will surely be sprayed and cause a lot of discomfort for the Virgin Mary. Frankly speaking, as long as there are unlimited medical resources, every medical nurse is willing to be a real angel, but are the resources unlimited? But are the resources unlimited? In the country have done emergency medicine know, every day to see the emergency in the end how much is a real emergency, how much is not, non-emergency or pseudo-emergency accounted for more than 80% of the polite point, most of them are pseudo-emergency.
Possibly the country has a misconception that an emergency is an emergency. Ambulances are also part of emergency care, and are equally likely to go out for many unthinkable reasons, and then return depressed. It must be realized that the number of ambulances in a place is limited, and the demand is always greater than the supply, once the ambulance is free of charge, will someone call for an ambulance even if they have a cold? The answer is yes, because I have encountered. Also encountered in the middle of the night can not call the drop call ambulance oddball.
So the ambulance not only should not be free of charge, but also should raise the charges, so that the intention to take advantage of the people, do not take chances, while refusing to pay the fee should be included in the list of bad faith.
