Economic burden of coronary artery bypass grafting surgery on government and patients: a two-center study

Despite patients paying charges for CABG in the private ward in the government hospital, the Ministry of Health continues to provide subsidized prices to lower the actual costs. The charges of CABG in the private hospital were double the actual costs of the public ward since it imposes profit. Finally, the study methodologies can be adopted by any country operating under the Beveridge Model or out-of-pocket health systems.
