The college student group "the vaccine can't be charged indiscriminately", sue the hospital!With the popularization of the 9-valent HPV vaccine, the issue of vaccine charging has attracted much attention in recent years. According to the Shanghai Legal Daily, students from East China University of Political Science and Law and Tongji University formed a "vaccine can't be charged indiscriminately" and filed a lawsuit with Shanghai Medical University Hospital, accusing it of hidden charges for its nine-valent HPV vaccine. The case was finally closed by the court in the form of a mediation letter, and the hospital refunded the money and made rectifications. On June 1 this year, Xiaohu, who studied at East China University of Political Science and Law, bought a 9-valent HPV vaccine** from Shanghai Medical University Hospital online and paid 5,149 yuan. However, the cost breakdown is not displayed on the purchase page. On June 3, when Xiaohu went to Shanghai Medical University Hospital for the first dose of vaccine, he found that the hospital's public notice wall showed that the nine-valent vaccine special service diagnosis and treatment fee was 200 yuan, and the injection fee was 50 yuan, and the vaccine base ** followed the guidance price of the Shanghai Center for Disease Control and Prevention 1303$5 needle. According to this information, the total price of the three needles should be (1303.)5+200+50）*3=4660.$5. Compared with the actual charge of 5149 yuan, there is 488$5 difference.
In order to protect their own rights and interests, Xiaohu and other students from East China University of Political Science and Law and Tongji University formed a "vaccine can't be charged indiscriminately", and sued Shanghai Medical University Hospital for the problem of hidden charges for the 9-valent HPV vaccine. Wang Huan, the leader of this team of college students, is a fourth-year student majoring in civil and commercial law at East China University of Political Science and Law. She said that in the four or five years since the 9-valent vaccine was launched in China, many students have been vaccinated with this vaccine. However, in the process of vaccination, many people have encountered problems such as vaccine sales, disguised price increases, and scalpers. In the course of the litigation, Xiaohu filed a pre-litigation mediation case in the Qingpu Court. After preliminary preparations, the panel determined that the case was based on the defendant's breach of contract and requested the hospital to return the overcharged 4885 yuan, and require the hospital to accurately publicize the details. The hospital argued that there was indeed ** information about the 9-valent vaccine on the publicity wall, but the publicity position was not conspicuous, and the injection fee and special service fee were not the ** components of the 9-valent vaccine. However, Xiaohu and others refuted this justification. In the end, the court issued a mediation letter, requiring the hospital to refund the overcharged fees and rectify them.
The outcome of this mediation is of positive significance for protecting the rights and interests of consumers and promoting the standardized development of the vaccine market. Overall, the issue of vaccine charges has been a public focus. In the case of the 9-valent HPV vaccine, hospitals had hidden charges, which brought a financial burden and a crisis of trust to consumers. Therefore, the action of "vaccines cannot be charged arbitrarily" by college students is of great significance to the action of not suing the hospital. In this case, the court resolved the dispute through mediation and safeguarded the legitimate rights and interests of consumers. However, we also need to pay more attention to the normative development of the vaccine market and the transparency of fees. The department should strengthen the supervision of the vaccine market to ensure the rationality and transparency of the vaccine, and at the same time strengthen the supervision and punishment of hospital fees. In addition, consumers should also be more rational about vaccines**, improve their legal awareness, and protect their rights and interests. In response to this question, the reader can think: What is your opinion on the issue of vaccine fees?What do you think should be done to strengthen the regulation of the vaccine market and protect consumer rights?Please leave your comments.
Investigation of the chaos of 9-valent HPV vaccine in Shanghai private hospitals: Xiaohu's case triggers reflection"Recently, the chaos of the nine-valent HPV vaccine in Shanghai private hospitals has attracted much attention. On the other hand, college students conducted a random survey of 20 private hospitals with 9-valent HPV vaccination qualifications, and found that many hospitals were charging indiscriminately. In this context, they sent a letter to the relevant departments with two recommendations. This article will dive into this**. First of all, according to the notice of the Shanghai Municipal Health Bureau and the Shanghai Municipal Price Bureau on further standardizing the management of special medical services for non-profit medical institutions in Shanghai (Hu Wei Gui Cai 2012 022), special outpatient clinics need to be filed and publicized, and they shall not be changed for at least 6 months after filing. However, on August 5th, Xiaohu Electronics received a notice of acceptance of the case from the Qingpu Court, and then the case was officially filed, and on September 13th, Xiaohu and others appeared in court, and the case finally belonged to a small claims lawsuit. In the end, Xiaohu and others decided to accept mediation, and the court issued a mediation letter. At the end of the trial, Hu successfully obtained a refund.
This case has raised concerns about the management of medical services**. At the same time, a survey of university students is also attracting attention. In the survey, it was found that 18 of the 20 private hospitals' online customer service said that they did not know the detailed information, while the other 2 hospitals avoided talking about it. It is understood that when selling the nine-valent HPV vaccine, hospitals often use "the form of **", which includes a number of expenses such as diagnosis and treatment fees, injection fees, and examination fees, which are not transparent and give hospitals an opportunity to overcharge and charge indiscriminately. This phenomenon raises questions about the transparency and legitimacy of health care**. In the face of this phenomenon, Wang Huan and his classmates sent a letter to the Shanghai Qingpu District Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission, and the Shanghai Municipal Health Insurance Bureau, using the Xiaohu case as an opportunity to reflect the chaos in the nine-valent HPV vaccine industry and put forward two suggestions. First of all, they suggested that a notice or notice should be issued to warn and supervise the publicity of the nine-valent HPV vaccine in private hospitals in Shanghai, so as to avoid operators taking advantage of opaque confusion and indiscriminate charges or hidden charges.
Secondly, they called on the relevant departments to require the relevant hospitals to do a good job in the filing of the special outpatient clinics of the 9-valent HPV vaccine**, and strictly implement the fees in accordance with the documents, so as to ensure that the rights and interests of consumers can be based on evidence. In this context, it is necessary for us to think deeply about the management of medical services. How to ensure the rationality and transparency of health care**?How to effectively supervise the charging behavior of hospitals and protect the rights and interests of patients?It is hoped that all walks of life can actively promote the standardization and transparency of medical service management, so that patients can obtain fair and reasonable medical services. What is your view on the charging behaviour of private hospitals?How do you think the supervision and management of medical services should be strengthened?Feel free to leave a comment to share your views. "9-valent HPV vaccine is now on sale": who is benefiting?In February this year, the news about the sale of the 9-valent HPV vaccine** attracted widespread attention. According to ** reports, some private hospitals are selling this vaccine through "** sales, and the price is as high as 2,000 yuan." Compared with the prices of public medical institutions, the difference is staggering. These private hospitals refer to the mark-up as "medical check-up**" and claim that the check-up items can be waived, but cannot be refunded.
On this issue, some colleges and universities have begun to introduce the 9-valent HPV vaccine for college students, which has caused more attention to this phenomenon. Beijing Jinkang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital was fined 54580,000 yuan. What kind of chain of interests is hidden behind this phenomenon is a question worthy of our in-depth consideration. After the sale of the 9-valent HPV vaccine was sold, it attracted widespread attention. This vaccine is an important means of preventing HPV infection, especially in women. However, due to the high cost of **, many people cannot afford it. In this case, private hospitals saw business opportunities and began to make profits through sales. They put the 9-valent HPV vaccine together with the physical examination items to raise the ** standard. As a result, consumers have to spend more money to get the vaccines they need. This is undoubtedly an unfair treatment for those women who want to receive the 9-valent HPV vaccine. If they choose to be vaccinated at a public health facility, they will only need to pay the normal cost of the vaccine. However, if they choose to go to a private hospital, they must undergo a "medical examination" and no refund will be given.
This raises questions about whether private hospitals are selling vaccines as a commodity, rather than as a tool to serve people's health. And this phenomenon is also beginning to appear in universities. In order to protect the health of students, some colleges and universities have begun to introduce the 9-valent HPV vaccine and provide students with the opportunity to make appointments for vaccination. This is undoubtedly a positive move, but because of the price increase of private hospitals, students have to pay more. Does this mean that colleges and universities have also become part of the profit-making of private hospitals?Colleges and universities should give more consideration to the financial burden of students and provide more fair and reasonable access to vaccination. It is worth noting that Beijing Jinkang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital was fined 54 for selling the nine-valent HPV vaccine at a higher price580,000 yuan. This fine demonstrates that there is zero tolerance for such misconduct. However, fines may only be a palliative measure. What we need is a stricter regulatory system to prevent similar phenomena from happening again. All in all, the issue of the current sales of the 9-valent HPV vaccine has raised questions about private hospitals. This behavior is not only worrying, but also exposes some of the problems in the current healthcare system.
* Supervision should be strengthened to ensure the equitable distribution of medical resources, so that more people can benefit from the prevention of the 9-valent HPV vaccine. At the same time, the public should also raise their awareness of prevention and choose formal channels to get vaccinated, so as not to give criminals a chance to take advantage of it. Finally, we should think about how to build a more equitable and reliable health care system so that everyone can enjoy the health rights they deserve. What is your opinion on the issue of the sale of the 9-valent HPV vaccine**?How do you think ** and society should respond?
