The new regulations, controlling the price of medicines, medical supplies and medical services, went into effect yesterday. Now, with so many complaints filed against private medical facilities, the government can no longer turn a blind eye. The new rules cover 3,892 medicines, medical supplies and medical services listed in the Universal Coverage for Emergency Patients. We will significantly expand the number of medicines, medical supplies and medical services covered under the new regulations,” Wichai said. He added that from now on, private hospitals must inform patients, if asked, of the estimated cost of treatment.
