医疗欠费使医院日常资金周转陷入困境,影响了医院正常业务的开展。据统计,至1996年底,湖州市卫生系统累计医疗欠费已高达1734.6万元,其中市地级医院785.35万元,县级医院657.73 万元,乡镇卫生院291.52万元。仅湖州市二院到1996年底医疗欠费就有440万元之多,一个小小的弁南乡卫生院医疗欠费竟也有11.9万元。医疗欠费数字惊人,亦引起我们的高度重视。 Medical arrears caused the hospital’s daily cash flow to be in trouble, which affected the normal business development of the hospital. According to statistics, by the end of 1996, the accumulated medical arrears of the Huzhou City Health System had reached 17.324 million yuan, including 7.853 million yuan in municipal-level hospitals, 657.73 million yuan in county-level hospitals and 2.9152 million yuan in township hospitals. Only the Second Hospital of Huzhou City had as many as 4.4 million yuan of medical arrears by the end of 1996, and the medical arrears of a small Weinan Township Health Center amounted to 119,000 yuan. The alarming figure of medical arrears also aroused our great attention.
