Private patients seeking treatment at the Muhimbili National Hospital will have to pay more than double the amounts charged previously, The Guardian has learnt.

Fees which have gone up effective this month include those for laboratory, dental, blood, x-ray and ultra-sound services.

Also raised are charges for admission, consultancy, and surgery. A patient will now have to pay more than one million shillings for surgery, way above the previous charges.

A survey by this reporter, showed that charges for kidney, urethral and stomach x-ray has gone up from 9,000/- to 20,000/-.

Full body x-ray which previously cost 12,000/- has had its charges raised to 40,000/- Lumbar and back x-ray charges have now gone up to 51,000/- from the previous 18,000/-.

Ultrasound charges have gone up from 15,000/- to 35,000/-

Fluoroscopy charges have in some cases gone up from previous 20,000/- to 35,000/- those of x-ray of the throat have risen from 30,000/- to 40,000/-.

A few other charges such as those for CT Scan have not changed, while charges for others such as MRI plain have gone down to 350,000/- from 400,000/-.

An official of MNH, Aminiel Buberwa Aligaesha,

told this reporter that rising operational, equipment and patient overhead costs had forced the hospital to raise the charges.

The national referral hospital was also seeking to raise funds to finance its drive for better services, he said.

Ukisikia 'kua uyaone' ndio haya masaibu. sio uyaone maghorofa. hivi hela walizokwapua wakina fulani zisingefaa walau kwa sehemu kupunguza gharama hizi?

wewe mama vipi huu ulinganishaji wako? Marekani mnalipa zaidi kwa sababu huduma zipo sasa kwa Muhimbili huduma za kupandishia bei ni zipi? Siyo suala la ukubwa wa malipo bali ni huduma (service).
