Play
The Medical Malpractice Victims' network Friday called for Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra to set up a panel to control the cost of medical treatment at private hospitals.
This is after the network discovered that many patients end up having to pay huge amounts, especially for emergency care, even though some of them are eligible for the government’s free emergency scheme.
The network’s chairperson, Preeyanant Lorsermwattana said she had received many complaints about the high prices at private hospitals over the past few years.
