Health | Kiang Wu’s initial assisted reproductive service fee to be low

The Kiang Wu hospital expects that it will provide assisted reproductive services at below cost price, according to a report by Macao Daily News.

Earlier, the Kiang Wu Hospital applied to the city’s Health Bureau (SSM), looking to establish a medical assisted reproductive center.

The vice superintendent of Kiang Wu, Chan Tai Ip, said that the center’s equipment may be ready by the middle of this month, with tests such as environmental monitoring and the determination of toxic substances able to be completed by the end of July.

To obtain approval, the center will be inspected by a team of license experts from SSM in August.

Chan emphasized that Kiang Wu strives to meet the highest requirements of the aSSM in terms of facilities, environment, and other factors, in order to improve the success rate of assisted reproduction.

Regarding the service fee, Chan claimed that the hospital will fix the price in accordance with the actual needs of people in Macau.

However, Chan expressed his concern that due to Macau’s imperfect supply chain, and the fact that the hospital is using the most advanced equipment, the initial price might end up being lower than the cost of the service itself.

The price is said to be between MOP30,000 and MOP50,000.

Chan also remarked that related services will be carried out in accordance with the law and will not be provided for profit.

The exact fees are difficult to estimate at the current stage. JZ
