How much does tuberculosis cost?

For tuberculosis, each unit and each place has different results depending on its consumption. In the case of provincial-level tertiary hospitals, TB treatment is relatively expensive, with drugs costing about 20,000 yuan, and in the case of municipal-level TB treatment units, it is usually heavy on the tests, which cost about 10,000 yuan. If the diagnosis is clear and the tuberculosis is treated at the local tuberculosis prevention center, basically the drugs are free of charge and only regular chest CT or X-ray examinations or repeated sputum cultures are required, the cost is relatively low, about three to four hundred dollars. The higher the unit level, the higher the cost, and the lower the unit level, the lower the cost, and the lowest is the local tuberculosis control center, which basically provides free treatment.
