News background: the case of GlaxoSmithKline, a famous multinational pharmaceutical company, suspected of offering bribes in China has not been investigated Recently, the media revealed that Sanofi, a French based company, is also suspected of offering bribes in China The company bribed 503 doctors in 79 hospitals for 1.69 million yuan in the name of providing research funds In China, pharmaceutical enterprises have been criticized for kickbacks and commissions to medical institutions, staff and medical personnel in various names This phenomenon not only leads to high drug price and harm patients, but also seriously hinders the process of China's medical system reform "Medical treatment for the sick" and "basic medical and health services for all" are the necessary requirements to promote the all-round development of human beings To this end, the report of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed that, in accordance with the requirements of ensuring the basic level, strengthening the grass-roots level and building a mechanism, we should focus on promoting the comprehensive reform of the medical security, medical services, public health, drug supply and regulatory system, improve the national health policy, and provide the public with safe, effective, convenient and cheap public health and basic medical services At present, because the price of medical services is regulated by the price bureau, it is not good to "do things", so most hospitals are on the road of raising the drug price to maintain the "normal operation" of hospitals Therefore, only when "medicine is divided" can we avoid the phenomenon that "doctors prescribe medicine mainly on the basis of its price but not on the basis of its curative effect" To stop drug companies from paying bribes to doctors, we need to treat the symptoms more fundamentally Therefore, the relevant departments should not only severely punish the enterprises involved in the case, but also actively promote medical reform so that the masses can enjoy "safe, effective, convenient and cheap public health and basic medical services" as soon as possible.
