[Chongqing] reform will change the industry ecology, and traditional Chinese medicine may benefit

Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, a series of measures have been launched to deepen the reform of the medical and health system and solve the problems of "expensive medical treatment" and "expensive drug price" During the two sessions in Chongqing in 2019, reporters from China News Network interviewed several representatives of Chongqing Municipal People's Congress on the topics of "pilot drug centralized procurement organized by the state" and "what changes will happen to the pharmaceutical industry in this round of reform" The reform will change the industry ecology "The national organization of drug centralized procurement pilot is a specific measure to promote the deepening of high-quality supply side reform in the pharmaceutical industry." You Hongtao, deputy to Chongqing Municipal People's Congress and chairman of Chongqing Huasen Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., believes that this round of medical and health system reform will make the pharmaceutical industry return to its essence and make drugs more safe, effective and affordable "From the perspective of the current stage effect, the price of anticancer drugs, especially the imported original research drugs and other previously high profit categories, has been on the trend of price reduction The price reduction of some varieties is still relatively large, while the price change of the original low profit broad-spectrum drugs and domestic generic drugs is not too obvious." You Hongtao said Chinese medicine may benefit from this round of reform "I think it is necessary and timely for the state to organize the centralized procurement of drugs." Bai Lixi, deputy to Chongqing Municipal People's Congress and director of Taiji group, said that for a long time, the domestic pharmaceutical industry has been driven by interests to over treat patients and over use drugs After the state organizes the centralized purchase of drugs, it will promote the further adjustment and reform of the pharmaceutical mechanism and reduce the price of drugs, which will reduce the burden on patients and the healthy development of the entire pharmaceutical industry, As well as the return of medical ethics of doctors have a very positive role "At present, the public hospitals including ours have cancelled the drug mark up and the drug service fee, and adjusted the price of some medical services, including the examination fee From this, we can see some trends in the reform of the medical and health system." Zhang Guoqiang, deputy to the Chongqing Municipal People's Congress and President of Hechuan District Hospital of traditional Chinese medicine, told reporters that after Chongqing promoted the reform of public hospitals in the whole city on September 30, 2017, the cost of drugs and large-scale equipment, which account for the largest part of the medical expenses, has been reduced to varying degrees, while the cost of diagnosis, which accounts for the smaller part, has been slightly increased, which clearly shows that this round of reform will reduce the burden of patients' medical expenses and promote medical treatment The tendency of service personnel to improve their diagnosis and treatment skills "From the trend of this round of medical and health system reform, traditional Chinese medicine may usher in development opportunities." Bai Lixi said that at present, the main sales channel of Chinese patent medicine is still in the pharmacy After the centralized purchase of drugs organized by the state, more doctors may be willing to choose Chinese patent medicine to treat patients, and the dual-use characteristics of many traditional Chinese medicines, such as Huangjing, Yuzhu, dangshen, etc., also let Chinese herbal medicine enter the basket of common people, so as to gain market in the broader health field "Many districts and counties will plant Chinese herbal medicine as poverty alleviation projects, and now the performance of Chinese patent medicine in the overseas market, we can see the future of Chinese medicine." "This year, our Taiji group led" traditional Chinese medicine agricultural park "has started construction, which is to see the potential of traditional Chinese medicine in the field of large health," said Bai Lixi What should all parties pay attention to in the reform? What should all parties concerned pay attention to in this reform involving the whole pharmaceutical industry ecology? "From the perspective of the enterprise, the first thing to do now is to increase the investment in technology, so that the products pass the consistency evaluation, and strive to innovate, and develop their own original research drugs." You Hongtao told reporters that Huasen's product Changsong polyethylene glycol 4000 passed the consistency evaluation in December last year, becoming the 26th national generic drug consistency evaluation drug in China It costs tens of millions of yuan from organizing technical team to doing scientific research to passing the evaluation If the original research drug is made, it will be higher, which is a heavy burden for the enterprise and requires great determination "The cost of drug passing the consistency evaluation is indeed high If the market sales cannot keep up, it is easy to cause the imbalance of production investment ratio, and blindly compress the profit space of drugs, it may make the operation of private pharmacies and pharmaceutical factories difficult, which requires the relevant parties to prepare emergency measures in the process of deepening the reform of the medical and health system, and master the coordination and balance." Bai Lixi said "This round of medical and health system reform is really to safeguard the interests of patients, and the public welfare of public hospitals has become stronger." Zhang Guoqiang: "but as a medical worker, I still want to raise the hope that there will be some more policies in the reform of the medical and health system, so that doctors can get the corresponding benefits by improving their own medical skills and paying their labor, and the public opinion will be more tolerant of this profession."
