Hospitals running out of patientsFinancial and managerial autonomy for public hospitals has yielded positive changes, but district hospitals have seen limited benefits and face new challenges. Patients are treated at Bình Tân District Hospital’s intensive care department. The hospital offers health care check-ups and treatment for 1,500-1,700 patients a day, with insured patients accounting for 80 per cent. A majority of patients at district hospitals are insured patients and poor people who cannot afford high-tech health care services, Mười said. He said the department would provide professional assistance to district hospitals, especially hospitals in the outlying districts of Cần Giờ and Củ Chi.
