    [Pharmaceutical Network Industry News] In recent years, with the continuous advancement of pharmaceutical reform, the centralized procurement of drugs and medical consumables has gradually become a normal trend, which is further guiding the artificially high prices to return to a reasonable level, reducing the burden of patients' medical expenses, and purifying medicines.

    .

    It is worth noting that with the advancement of the normalization of centralized procurement, a large number of medical consumables with large clinical usage have begun to be "targeted"
    .

    For example, on April 27, the Hebei Provincial Medical Insurance Bureau issued the "Hebei Provincial Medical Insurance Bureau's Announcement on Publicly Asking for Comments on the Centralized Procurement Documents of Medical Consumables" (hereinafter referred to as the "Announcement"), which included 17 kinds of medical consumables in the new one.
    Round centralized purchase list with quantity
    .

    The specific purchase categories are: oropharyngeal airway, thoracoabdominal puncture device, disposable intravenous catheter, anesthesia line, analgesia pump, disposable nipple incision knife, endotracheal intubation, bone cement, infusion port, catcher , Pectus excavatum, ligation device, chest (abdominal) drainage tube, disposable pressure sensor, intracoronary shunt, vascular closure system, disposable nasobiliary drainage tube
    .

    Judging from the purchase list, many categories have less or no volume purchases before, and the purchase list also includes a variety of low-value consumables
    .

    It is understood that due to the continuous expansion of centralized procurement in terms of quantity, product range and scale, low-value consumables with low unit price but large consumption are also being continuously included in volume procurement
    .

       It is reported that before this centralized procurement, the Office of the Procurement Alliance of Public Medical Institutions in Henan Province has issued the "Announcement on Issues Concerning the Release of Procurement Documents and Quotation Negotiations of the Alliance of Public Medical Institutions in Henan Province" (hereinafter referred to as the "Announcement")
    .

    The "Announcement" proposes that the province's three-level public medical institutions will form a public medical institution procurement alliance to carry out centralized procurement of hemostatic materials, anti-adhesion materials, and dura (spinal) medical consumables
    .

       In addition, in April last year, Changsha City also launched the centralized procurement of low-value medical consumables and testing reagents
    .

    The scope of this centralized collection is very large.
    Except for the thirteen categories of consumables that Hunan Province uniformly organizes and implements centralized collection, and the centralized collection items (such as nucleic acid test reagents, etc.
    ) that are uniformly organized by the Provincial Medical Insurance Bureau as stipulated in the document, all other low-value items are of low value.
    Medical consumables and testing reagents are included in the scope of centralized collection
    .

       Since the purpose of purchasing with quantity is to squeeze out the moisture in the sales process, the industry predicts that after the centralized procurement of 17 kinds of medical consumables in Hebei Province, there may be a wave of price cuts
    .

    It is worth mentioning that, compared with high-value medical consumables such as cardiac intervention, artificial joints, and other organ intervention replacements, the single price of low-value medical consumables is not high, but they are widely used.
    Therefore, it is expected to benefit more patients after the price is lowered.

    .

    According to the author's understanding, in the procurement of low-value consumables that have been carried out in many provinces and cities before, taking injection and puncture products as an example, the decline has been as high as 94.
    34%, and it is estimated that hundreds of millions of yuan will be saved annually
