Controversy over scalpers reselling appointment slots
editIn January 2016, a video of a woman angrily confronting scalpers at Guang'anmen Hospital sparked heated online discussions. In the video, she accused the hospital administration of colluding with scalpers, and criticized the scalpers for inflating the registration fee from 300 yuan to 4,500 yuan. Afterwards, the police intervened in the investigation. The Beijing Municipal Health and Family Planning Commission responded that it had always adopted a "zero-tolerance" policy towards the phenomenon of "scalpers," especially the collusion between individual illegal personnel within and outside medical institutions.[12] However, after the incident, according to an undercover investigation by Xinhua News Agency reporters, scalpers were still defying the law.[13]
