I understand that people on Holiday, can have accidents, or become ill. But why is it those looking to get people to send money, beause of high costs, and insurance company problem. seem to be the ones who automatically go to the private/international hospitals. I doubt they would have such huge costs. if they were to transfer themselves or go directly to the government hospitals. The large government hospitals have everything for all cases. I have had in 15 years two heart attacks and have been treated in the government hospitals including being treated the last occassion in the local hospital, transported by government ambulance 200 kilometres to the larger hospital with heart department, treated and transported back, plus recovery in a private room to recover. at a faction of the 10K plus a night at private hospital. Plus knowing the costs would go back into the government sector to keep improving the great services they give. I would also think the insurance companies would also be happier to pay the bills due to the lower costs. May I suggest contacting the insurance company to pay the bill, and transfer him to a government hospital to recover.
