BANGKOK, Dec 17 (TNA) – The Faculty of Medicine at Chulalongkorn University will produce high-flow oxygen devices for hospitals nationwide to save patients with lung inflammation.

 

The faculty already received certification from the Food and Drug Administration for the innovation. Its device is as good as an imported device but its price is four times cheaper, at about 50,000 baht.

Life saving devices like this should not be taxed or overprice .

Bravo for showing that the same quality can be produced locally at only 25% of the price of imported ...

I wonder where the 75% cost savings occurred?

The hub of copying.  It's easy to achieve 75% of costs by paying workers in peanuts with no shipping costs.

All depends on how much profit a manufacturer wants to make.

They dant sell for healthcare, but just for money. You need one , it will cost you, enough for making a good profit.

Same with medicines or treating you in hospital. Healthcare is making money, nothing else. Pay or die.

 

An aunt of me had cancer. They wouldnt treat her for it , due to her age.

She had enough money, so insisted on a treating and paying it herself ! They did then, and she got cured.

Amazing though, looks like there is some kind of agreement between hospitals, doctors and insurance companies, they think you are too old, so you better die in agony on cancer. She paid and got better again.

 

A very educated professor did a medical invention (medicine) on a rare cancer. The costs were 16000 euro for the treatment.

He sold it to a French company, still then the price for treatment was 16000 for treatment.

They sold it again to a Swiz (American?) company and now the price is 90000 euro for that same treatment.

Protected by law, they ONLY could sell this in USA and EU.

 

What was i saying? O yeah, money making business, healthcare, pay or die.

 

Highflow O2 machine? People work on 21% oxygen and just use a 4-5 % on it for working properly.

Or it his a high flow AIR machine?, just like cpap machines? Im married to one of it.

But ok you can give some more O2, if blood saturation is too low or just more flow of air? But a high flow of O2?

Too much O2 and you get drunk and is not good.
