香港公立医院急症室（A&E）就诊人数在新定价制度于1月1日生效后下降近12%，而受益于费用豁免的人数则增加了三倍。医院管理局表示，这一改革有助于急症室更有效地履行紧急护理职能。过去一周的数据显示，患者数量显著减少。
香港公立医院的急症室（A&E）部门在新定价制度实施后，就诊人数下降了近12%。这一制度于1月1日生效，旨在优化医疗资源分配。
根据医院管理局的数据，从1月1日至7日，共有32,147名患者前往由该局运营的18个急症室就诊，较去年同期下降11.9%。与此同时，受益于新定价制度下费用豁免的人数增加了三倍。
一位管理局发言人表示：“过去一周的服务数据显示，费用和收费改革使急症室能够更有效地履行紧急护理职能。”他补充道：“急症室可以更好地集中资源，更有效地治疗有紧急医疗需求的患者，并提高紧急病例的治疗效率。”
这一变化发生在香港医疗系统面临老龄化人口压力和每年约300亿港元支出的背景下。新制度旨在鼓励非紧急病例转向其他服务，从而让急症室专注于真正紧急的情况。
