How to reduce the operation cost of myopia children in Guangzhou?
In recent years, the problem of children's myopia in Guangzhou has become increasingly prominent. With the development of science and technology, ophthalmic surgery has become an effective method to treat myopia. However, the cost of ophthalmic surgery is relatively high, which may be a burden for some families. In order to reduce the operation cost of Guangzhou ophthalmic myopic children, we can start from the following aspects:
Strengthen medical insurance policy support for ophthalmic surgery
The high cost of ophthalmic surgery is mainly due to the high costs of surgical instruments, medical staff salaries, operating room rental, etc. The government can strengthen the medical insurance policy support for ophthalmic surgery to reduce the economic pressure of patients and families. For example, the establishment of a special medical insurance fund can subsidize the operation costs of some poor families; Adjust the coverage of medical insurance, include ophthalmic surgery into the basic medical insurance, and reduce the proportion of individual payment. In addition, medical insurance institutions can negotiate with eye hospitals to reduce the price of surgical materials and equipment, thus reducing the cost of surgery.
In addition, it can also strengthen the investment in scientific research and education related to ophthalmic surgery, improve the technical level of Guangzhou ophthalmologists, reduce the failure rate of surgery, and reduce the cost of secondary surgery caused by the failure of surgery.
Promote advanced ophthalmic surgical techniques
At present, the ophthalmic surgery technology in Guangzhou is quite mature, but there are still some traditional surgical methods with high costs. For example, the cost of traditional LASIK is high, while the cost of Femto LASIK technology in recent years is relatively low. The government and hospitals can promote advanced ophthalmic surgery technology, so that more patients can enjoy lower surgery costs.
In addition, foreign advanced ophthalmic surgery technology and equipment can be introduced to improve the efficiency of surgery, reduce the cost of surgery time and materials, and thus reduce the cost of surgery. At the same time, Guangzhou ophthalmologists can also be encouraged to actively participate in international academic exchanges and constantly update their technical level.
Strengthen the prevention and treatment of children's myopia
The high incidence of myopia in children is closely related to the change of modern lifestyle. In order to reduce the demand for myopia surgery in children, we can strengthen the prevention and treatment of myopia in children. The government can carry out myopia prevention and control publicity activities in schools and communities to educate parents and children to use electronic products correctly, use eyes rationally and control the development of myopia. At the same time, we should strengthen the early detection and intervention of children's myopia, provide effective non-surgical treatment measures, such as corneal plastic lenses, and reduce the need for surgery.
In addition, strengthening school sports and outdoor activities, increasing the amount of exercise for students, has a positive effect on eyesight. At the same time, schools should provide a good reading environment, reduce students' excessive use of electronic products, and create a good environment for children's eye health.
Encourage private medical institutions to provide competitive prices
Guangzhou encourages social forces to participate in the launch of medical services, which can encourage competitive prices. The government can give private medical institutions certain preferential policies such as tax and land lease to reduce their operating costs, thus reducing the cost of surgery. At the same time, the government can also establish a medical service market supervision organization to supervise and manage the price of ophthalmic surgery, so as to prevent price monopoly and unfair price increase.
In a word, to reduce the operation cost of Guangzhou ophthalmic myopic children, we can start with strengthening the medical insurance policy support for ophthalmic surgery, promoting advanced ophthalmic surgery technology, strengthening the prevention and treatment of children's myopia, and encouraging private medical institutions to provide competitive prices. Of course, in addition to the efforts of the government and hospitals, the participation of all sectors of society is also the key to reducing the cost of surgery.
