This article combines the hot spots on the entire network in the past 10 days to sort out the hospital parking charging model, focus of controversy and practical suggestions, and provides structured data for reference.
1. Current status and hot controversies of hospital parking charges

1.Charging standards vary widely: Parking fees in tertiary hospitals in first-tier cities are generally high, and some hospitals do not provide discounts to the families of inpatients, leading to an increase in financial burden. For example, temporary parking at a hospital in Beijing costs 10 yuan for the first hour, 5 yuan for subsequent hours, and a single-day cap of 80 yuan.
2.Preferential policies are not transparent: Netizens from many places reported that the hospital did not clearly disclose information on parking discounts for inpatients, and that it was necessary to proactively inquire before applying, and the process was cumbersome.
3.Tensions over parking spaces aggravate conflicts: Some hospitals have limited parking spaces, and family members occupy parking spaces for a long time to save money, further causing parking problems.

|---|---|---|---|
| Beijing | tertiary hospital | 10 yuan | Half price with hospitalization certificate |
| Shanghai | Municipal hospital | 8 yuan | Daily cap 40 yuan |
| Guangzhou | general hospital | 5 yuan | Free for the first 3 hours |
| Chengdu | Third Class B Hospital | 3 yuan | No special offers |
2. Comparison of preferential policies on parking fees for inpatients
By comparing policies in many places across the country, parking discounts for inpatients are mainly divided into the following three categories:

2.Make use of surrounding parking resources: If the parking fee in the hospital is too high, you can consider affordable parking lots in nearby shopping malls and communities, combined with short-distance connections.
3.Call for policy improvement: Representatives of people's congresses in many places have proposed to include "hospital parking discounts" into people's livelihood security regulations, and patients' families can report their needs through 12345 and other channels.

The issue of hospital parking charges is closely related to people's livelihood, and there is an urgent need to unify preferential standards and simplify the application process. Family members need to take the initiative to understand the policy, and at the same time, all sectors of society should promote the formation of a more reasonable charging mechanism to reduce the burden on patients' families.
