    Hospital fees reform / Art Basel

    In the main part of Friday's Backchat, we discussed the government's latest hospital reforms.

    Starting next year, patients receiving non-critical and non-emergency care at accident and emergency wards at public hospitals will be required to pay HK$400 per visit, up from the current HK$180. The change is aimed at alleviating the burden on A&E wards and encouraging more non-serious patients to seek treatment in the private sector.
    Authorities argue that now is the right time to implement these measures, as semi-urgent and non-urgent patients account for around 60 percent of the cases. The reforms come alongside an increase in the cost of medication fees at public hospitals. Are private practices ready for a potential influx in patients? Will these changes result in more resources being allocated to critical care?

    In the latter part of the show, we spoke those involved in this year's Art Basel.
