September 1, countries to reduce part, adjusting endocrine hormone class and nervous system such as the highest retail price, drugs were involves 82 varieties, 400 DuoGe dosage form of specifications, cut prices by 14% on average for.

"Only the smell, no one down the stairs." Talk about the price DuoCi drugs in recent years, taiyuan citizens ginger like Mr Describe their experiences. In the several reporters citizens, for the drugs they price cut or not informed, or reaction insipid. They are many questions, the most see don't understand is: national DuoCi lower drug prices, why there is no obvious feelings?

PuYao price cut is or barking up

The taiyuan shanxi ShuangHe is the most representative drug sales enterprise, September 5,, the reporter walks into this company is located in the twin towers a large pharmacy tung. For the price, the price of drugs drugstore DongFei told reporters, on September 1, part of the national reduction drugs, probably related to their enterprise at present the sales more than 20 kinds of products, and more than 300 dosage form of rules, and in the drugs involved in drugs, including a third of the original sales price is lower than it has been drug, so the price adjustment on September 1 in the future, the price of these drugs are fundamentally no change. Investigate its reason, mainly because of shanxi as undeveloped areas, and some domestic cities, common people purchasing power than low for sales, pharmacy, consider a start to drug use small profit pricing principle, less than the policy was common in countries of pricing, later, pharmacy price move naturally reaction is very limited.

Enterprise as circulation, its sales profits have already very poor, and some even in barely maintains, so people still feel very high prices, the reason actually?

Shanxi cooperates pharmaceutical group in shanxi is representative of the pharmaceutical production enterprise, the group chairman LiAnPing when accepting a reporter to interview, the question made their point of view. LiAnPing said, 2011, during the first half our drug production enterprise sales rose 20%, but at the same time, the efficiency of enterprises has slipped 50%, investigate its reason, the domestic medicine enterprises independent research and development capacity and inadequate investment is a major factor. At present PuYao price is concerned, production enterprise in this piece of all don't earn money, our regular drug prices and the surrounding countries, such as some lower glucose liquid medium are cheaper than the price of mineral water, some where the price of the pills were pleasant northeast organic rice sale price is low still. In this case, the production management standard enterprise due to higher production costs, often hard and those who do not standard of small businesses compete is false and inferior drugs, and finally caused flows into the market, the effective ratio drug reduced greatly, was 1 pills that solve the problem finally 10 pills for it to work, it is also a form of price increases. LiAnPing told reporters, at present the production has PuYao cooperates group is the price and cost, innovation of drugs down profits at 10%, and to the PuYao production, because he believes that country will not let this situation last, there should be a return to day. Price

Independent research and development shortage is possible

Enterprise as circulation, its sales profits have already very poor, and some even in barely maintains. Production enterprise and the cost in price down, and common people still feel drug prices high, why?

Now that PuYao has fallen down, this is exactly where in the high prices? To this, LiAnPing use a number of them told mystery. He said that at present our country 3 armour hospital drugs are used large 60% imported from abroad, because of intellectual property rights, these factors, the domestic price of drugs unusually high development of a similar drug, prices are often just a small percentage of the import prices, but due to the enterprise benefit not beautiful and investment, less domestic medicine enterprises often can't independent research and development, the 3 armour hospital by the large drug imported drugs, this is common people feel occupation drug prices high, virtual look down on the main reason of disease of. As for the hope that through the government reduce the idea of unified purchase prices, LiAnPing is flatly denied. He thinks that the market economy condition, the government is directly involved in a violation of the market rules, you can't reverse market behavior when the referee and when athletes, if the government is, that's open market economy joke, the end all contradictions will focus on to the government. Only strengthen domestic drug independent research and development efforts, let common people as soon as possible to have their own intellectual property rights to use the drug, drug prices is innovation to solve the fundamental way of high.

If you want to seek profits illegal, you could go to drug trafficking; If you want to its legal profits, you could go to sell medicine. The words were people for drug circulation high commission, layer upon layer of the phenomenon of the markups this phenomenon, image describes eventually led directly to price theory and the consequences of drug abuse high.

Once upon a time, drug abuse phenomenon let many patients talk about medical color change. Not long ago a survey data shows: the country a year cost 10.4 billion bottles of antibiotics, on average, with 8 bottles, this number in North America, European countries only 3.3 bottle, 2.5 bottle. In basic medical and health institutions, especially the rural, drug abuse more widespread phenomenon. According to statistics, China's drug in the medical treatment cost about 50% in developed countries, but only in 10% 20%, such as Switzerland only 7.7%, to 100%, for the German 12.3%, the UK, 16.7%, Japan occupied 21% for high also corresponding.

In view of the above situation, cure of the state council experts consultative committee, Shanghai fudan university professor HuShan league said: "basic drugs implementation of the system to the scope of the medicine the doctor narrowed the many, and introduction of prescription set to the doctor, training, and tried to make the basic drugs with it really, really is a great progress, to improve rational drug use level play a very significant role." Ministry of drug company a monitoring agency monitoring stations in 2010, according to an average of 100 prescription drug use total number 260, up to reduce 30, use of antibiotics from number 53 down to 48, the use of hormone prescriptions from number 13 down to 9, shows that system for basic drugs have a certain degree of clinical medicine in the standard, to solve the problem of high cost people have made a small step.

Public welfare regression is fundamental way out

In the provincial health department interview, head of the basic drugs place to tell a reporter, the present basic drugs system is still in further perfect process, the next step, will also develop the basic version of the basic drugs, to 2020 will set up overall covering both urban and rural areas, the standard of the basic drugs system. Hospital comprehensive reform at the county level in the national 164 county (city) has first start, the next five years, reform will be expanded to urban public hospital. This will give a public hospital of mechanism system touches the deep change, target the same public hospital in medicine directly to the raise of the medical system. Hope along with the national synthetically reform of medical advance, the more thoroughly cut off contact, the medical and medicine doctor no longer sell drugs for income, by rational drug use level will gradually improve.

According to the hospital to raise medical phenomenon, medicine in taiyuan city, deputy director of institute of traditional Chinese medicine LiuKeQin puts forward his own ideas. He told reporters in the current system, the hospital drugs can't do much, the price of taiyuan city hospital diagnosis technology service charge the execution of, or in 2002 price criteria, with the current price level and now is obviously not an appropriate compared, the result is a doctor can't through the "sunshine income" realize self-worth, because technology pricing is far below the cost of labor services, against the law of value, lead to a lot of doctors to prescribe "DaChuFang", from drugs in kickbacks to compensate. Therefore, your doctor mainly embodies in your, consumables expensive drug prices. If you want to really break to raise medical malpractice, medicine can produce enough funds state of hospital for compensation is the key to success.

Just as a net friend says, countries do not improve to public hospital's support, the doctor-patient relationship always entanglements, the hospital would not forever, patients get no concessions in benefits. When the thinking on market management welfare, must be no way ahead.

LiuKeQin also told reporters, even if their community hospital to zero price difference, but in a pharmacy sold drugs can still see them cheaper than the retail price, meantime why is not clear. It seems, when it is in the high prices disturb us, for some drugs problem of low prices of the doubts and unrest has to follow.

Prime minister wen jiabao said: "the food industry is moral industry." Pharmaceutical industry also GaiMoNengWai, in addition to the standard policy, also need to moral construction.
