The company involved in the sky-high funeral expenses of Beijing 3A Hospital was fined 5.65 million yuan.
CCTV News:According to the website of Beijing Market Supervision Bureau, recently, an administrative penalty decision issued by Beijing Market Supervision Bureau showed that Beijing Paradise Xianghe Funeral Service Co., Ltd., which had provided funeral services for the mortuaries of the Third Hospital of Beijing Medical University and Beijing Electric Power Hospital, was confiscated of illegal income of 1.09 million yuan and fined 5.65 million yuan.
In April, 2022, the funeral service outsourcing company in the mortuary of the Third Hospital of Beijing Medical University charged a "sky-high funeral fee of more than 38,000 yuan", which attracted much attention. The Third Hospital of Peking University issued a statement on April 11th, saying that a special team was set up to actively cooperate with relevant government departments to conduct in-depth investigation and resolutely rectify as required.
According to Xinhua News Agency, on-the-spot inspection by Beijing Municipal Market Supervision Bureau, Beijing Civil Affairs Bureau and Beijing Municipal Health and Health Commission found that Beijing Paradise Xianghe Funeral Service Co., Ltd., a company involved in the case, was suspected of illegal acts such as unclear pricing, non-implementation of government pricing, and unauthorized storage of remains. The Beijing Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau intends to confiscate the illegal income of the company and impose a heavier punishment. The Third Hospital of Beijing Medical University has the problem of failing to supervise outsourcing companies. Beijing has launched a comprehensive investigation on the outsourcing of hospital morgues in the city, and will study and formulate policies and measures to improve the management services of hospital morgues.
