Be cautious when sick in New Zealand! The waiting list for medical treatment has gotten out of control, and medical resources are alert
In New Zealand, be cautious if you are sick! Appointments are out of control!
In New Zealand, although there is free health insurance, many Chinese think that they will have to wait a lifetime to enjoy health insurance.
Around 6,000 New Zealanders were waiting for a consultation more than expected on February 5, and that number is growing rapidly.
Patients must not wait more than 4 months at the time of their first consultation or when they receive their first consultation such as surgery.
However, a report by the New Zealand health department, which tracks the development of the health system, shows that as of September 2023, a total of 59,817 people were able to pass after more than four months.
The data for September 2022 was 35,863, with a 67% increase in the percentage of delayed enrollment throughout the year.
In fact, since January 2021, there has been a steady increase in the number of overstayers of more than 1,200 per month.
That's a number we can't handle.
The biggest problem is that there are many patients with serious injuries or injuries who are diagnosed as treatable, but they don't get the treatment they need. She said.
As of September 2023, the number of patients waiting for more than four months (i.e. planned care) will also increase by 10% to 29,266.
This is due to the fact that from April 2023, there will be more patients than waiting patients.
In Manukau, Auckland, Waikado, the Health Authority has seen the fastest growth in expired cases.
In May 2022, the labour authorities' health care task force made progress to improve regional liaison with health facilities and reduce the waiting period for GPs to last more than a year.
However, Dalton believes that New Zealand is experiencing a shortage of several thousand health care workers as more people leave public health facilities.
During this time, it is inevitable that someone will die. They don't die from the disease, but when the disease progresses to a certain point, they lose their sight or become disabled.
Some diseases could have been cured, but it would have been a long time since they were cured.
