    Hong Kong Hospitals overloaded

    it may be inexpensive but if the public hospitals are already full, patient care must be suffering

    Public hospital wards exceed capacity - RTHK

    Isn't this just the government warming society up to the need for a new insurance scheme that will be adopted in the 5 years or so

    Shame HK government doesn't give two shits about its citizens beyond the bare minimum so they are able to go to work for their shitty bosses and then go home to their shitty shoe box apartments.

    A&E fee increased from 100 to 180, lots of other fees were increased too:

    Fees and charges at public hospitals to be revised next month

    A&E is still cheaper than a GP.

    A&E should be more expensive unless you are admitted.
