What is the income of doctors in Hong Kong?

Doctors in Hong Kong are well paid. There are generally two kinds of doctors in Hong Kong. One is to be a private doctor and open his own clinic. The income of private doctors is not capped. The average annual income is between HK$ 6.5438+0.5 million and HK$ 3 million, which is why many local medical schools and overseas doctors choose to be private doctors after graduation. The second is to become a doctor in a public hospital of a government department. Income is relatively fixed. The provision of accommodation by the Hong Kong Hospital Authority has saved a lot of expenses (as we all know, housing prices in Hong Kong are expensive). The income of doctors in public hospitals is low or high, and the monthly salary of interns is 25 thousand Hong Kong dollars; Monthly salary of college interns: HK$ 60,000-HK$ 70,000; Monthly salary of specialist residents: about 654.38+ 10,000; Senior resident's monthly salary: 1.5 million or so; Top consultant doctor's monthly salary: about HK$ 200,000. Therefore, the income of doctors in Hong Kong is what mainland doctors yearn for, which is the main reason why more and more people join doctors in Hong Kong.

The doctor's income has nothing to do with the amount of medicine prescribed;

How can Hong Kong prevent hospital directors or doctors from favoring expensive drugs and borrowing prescriptions for profit? In Wu Shuo, no matter which public hospital, all medical staff are paid according to the same standard. The doctor's salary has nothing to do with the number of drugs prescribed, and doctors don't have to worry about purchasing funds.

Public hospitals and out-patient services under the Hong Kong Hospital Authority are charged according to the fee schedule published in the Government Gazette, and all of them are charged on a per-visit or daily basis. There are three types of medical fees, among which the fees of "eligible persons" such as Hong Kong identity card holders, Hong Kong residents, children under 1 1 and other persons recognized by the HA are lower:

Every time the general clinic is in 45 yuan; Every emergency 100 yuan; Specialist outpatient service (including full-time medical service) sees a doctor for the first time at 65,438+000 yuan, and then sees a doctor in 60 yuan at 65,438+00 yuan for each drug every time; Day surgery and treatment in oncology clinic and nephrology clinic are held in 80 yuan every time; Each application and injection 17 yuan; Hospitalization service Emergency bed hospitalization fee is 50 yuan, and then 100 yuan per day; Hospitalization services in convalescence, rehabilitation, nursing and psychiatric beds every day in 68 yuan. ...

At the same time, public hospitals charge higher fees for "unqualified people", such as emergency treatment, hospitalization service of 3,300 yuan (general hospital) for each visit to 570 yuan, and hospitalization service of 1.200 yuan (psychiatric hospital); Public hospitals also have the most expensive "private services". For example, the first-level hospitalization service in emergency hospitals is 3,900 yuan per day, and the first-level hospitalization service in other hospitals is 3,300 yuan per day. (Note: The "private service" hospitalization service in Hong Kong only includes general care, core pathological examination, meals and miscellaneous expenses, and drugs are charged at the cost price. )

"When everything (including consultation time and consultation fee) is fixed, what can doctors do for patients?" Dr. Li Guodong, a member of the General Assembly of the Hong Kong Hospital Authority, once said: "Complaints about waiting time and system complexity do exist." The reason is simple: if doctors add unnecessary tests to patients, the waiting time of other patients will be further extended, and prescribing more drugs to patients will also be restricted by the overall cost of the Hospital Authority. On the contrary, doctors may be under pressure because of "unnecessary procedures and prescriptions".
