Recently, the Chinese have been denounced. Take advantage of it!
This is the case, the Australian breast cancer screening program has a loophole, to test people do not need to show residency or citizenship! Therefore, foreign tourists can "take advantage" of the opportunity to check for free!
Then, the Australian media reported that the most of these tourists are Chinese!
According to the Daily Mail, women who have vacations or family visits in Australia do not need to provide a general practitioner's recommendation or a medical insurance card to receive free BreastScreen breast tests, according to the survey.
The test, which costs hundreds of Australian dollars, has not yet been introduced in some Asian countries, so some women traveling from abroad "took advantage" of the free service. Even "recruit" seven aunts and aunts from China.
The issue is the first time such a question has been raised through official channels, said David Currow, chief executive of the New State Cancer Institute of Greg Hunt, federal health secretary, and former chief professor of Cancer Australia.
He noted that the magnitude of the problem could not be quantified because women tested did not need to provide relevant residency rights or citizenship and did not collect any data.
But for now, they've realized. "Hunt has solemnly written to state and local government asking them to review their screening programs to ensure that only eligible patients are tested," a spokesman for Federal Health Secretary Greg Hunt said.
At the same time, the New State Department of Health Brad Hazzard also said it would take "appropriate action" to close the loophole.
According to statistics, Australia spends about A $ two hundred and eighty seven million six hundred and ninety nine thousand nine hundred and ninety nine a year on BreastScreen.
Australian media said China does not have a national breast screening program and that breast tests typically cost more than A $200.
And on the web page, many Chinese who read the news also said they didn't know what to say.
