What does it mean to go from "recruitment" to "price acquisition"?

From the "Recruitment Center" to the "Price Purchase Center", the difference in the name is like a butterfly flapping its wings.

After the normalization of centralized procurement, the provincial bidding and procurement platforms for drugs and medical consumables will also usher in functional upgrades

Since the National Medical Insurance Bureau started the national centralized procurement in 2018, all provinces have established provincial-level bidding and procurement platforms for drugs and medical consumables

At present, the provincial centralized procurement institutions are mainly divided into three types according to their functional jurisdiction:

Public institutions directly under the management of the provincial medical security bureau, and the pharmaceutical procurement platform is independently constructed by the centralized procurement agency.

The Provincial Medical Security Bureau and the provincial public resource transaction service management department jointly established a centralized procurement agency, and unified the procurement platform in the provincial public resource transaction service platform.

Provincial state-owned enterprises are responsible for the centralized procurement of medicines in medical institutions across the province, including the Guangdong Provincial Drug Exchange and the Chongqing Drug Exchange

A few days ago, the National Medical Insurance Bureau held the first working meeting of national pharmaceutical centralized procurement institutions to study and deploy the construction of the centralized procurement platform

At the meeting, Chen Jinfu, member of the party group and deputy director of the Medical Insurance Bureau, emphasized that it is necessary to fully understand the importance of platform construction to support the reform of centralized pharmaceutical procurement, explore new price formation mechanisms and professional handling services, and focus on supporting the reform and management of pharmaceutical prices.
