Media reports before the new Medical Reform Final draft plan will be issued on March 18, but then the Ministry of Health that the report was not true), although the final draft of new medical reform plan has not yet surfaced, but a key part of the foreseen already in the media "preaching" storm. For retail pharmacies, the most surprising part of this is that that a?? "Explore restructuring of public hospital outpatient pharmacy retail pharmacies and other medicine for the effective way to separate."
2008 10 months, "to deepen the views of medical and health system (draft)" (hereinafter "the draft") published and public comments in retail pharmacies, compared the mood and the moment is a different . "'The draft' is almost entirely for retail pharmacies is bad, if implemented in accordance with, the popular drug policy around the retail industry is no different from a devastating blow." At that time, a pessimistic on the industry's said. In fact, several months, a similar pessimistic views in the industry often been mentioned, even the retail industry, pharmaceutical industry on the future of no hope ... ...
But on March 17, when the reporter called the number of drugs when the head of the retail business, everyone's mood seemed to have recovered. Phone, Harbin Pharmaceutical Chain Co., Ltd. Office of the Director of Baofeng Han Lijuan said excitedly: "I just saw reports that the Out-patient pharmacy to be transformed into retail pharmacies, which would mean the drug retail industry, competition in the market has been fairly environment is really good news. "
The face of medical institutions that rival pharmaceutical retail industry has been trying to compete with them fairly. "However, when this was similar to hope in hope that, after a long time suddenly seems out of reach may become a reality when it is inevitable that some people by surprise; also makes people worry about whether 'happy too soon'." a person in charge of drug retail enterprises can not believe that.
This, something Beijing Jia Tong Shuai Xu, general manager of the drugstore chain, said understanding, the "retail pharmacies unfair competition in the market for too long." He said. On the one hand, man-made obstacles such as passwords prescription prescription difficult to drain from the hospital, a pharmacy Prescription drugs Sales bottleneck; the other hand, Community Health Medical institutions to implement zero-slip sales price of drugs, the difference from the state subsidies, letting pharmacies face unfair price mechanism.
Which allow retail pharmacies confidence in the future more and more reluctantly. And when "the draft" final for the industry becomes more desperate, the Chinese Medical Association and the National People's Congress on behalf of business, Hunan Medical's chairman Xie Zilong other people who made calls for the industry, policy makers finally heard the voice of the industry. The new medical reform is starting to help change the direction of pharmaceutical retail industry. "At least now looks like this." An industry source said.
Talk about restructuring public hospitals to explore out-patient pharmacy, a medical reform experts believe that managed the hospital outpatient pharmacy retail pharmacies. In response, the industry believes that if this is the case, social pharmacy and outpatient pharmacy may be converted into retail pharmacies will remain unequal competitive position. Pharmacies managed, the hospital, doctors can also be converted into a pharmacy and the original out-patient pharmacy continue to "collaborate", such as through password prescriptions, electronic prescriptions, etc. were specified or implied, to the outpatient pharmacy and converted into the pharmacies.
"So the key question is whether the public hospital outpatient pharmacy complete with hospitals and doctors 'decoupling'. In other words, whether outpatient pharmacy to become a true retail pharmacies." An industry that, " outpatient pharmacies only and exactly the same as other community pharmacies no longer have any 'privileged', will have a fair competition environment in order to make drug prices through market competition, more reasonable, tangible benefits to the people. "
In addition, " Health Insurance Qualifications "is another pharmacy encounter unfair. It is understood that more than 3,000 drugstores in Beijing, drugstore for less than 100 health insurance, the average is less than 10 districts and counties; in 2006, Guangzhou Municipal Labor and Social Security Bureau stipulates that the approval is only 200 meters away from a drugstore for Medical Insurance ... ... no doubt, to a slice in the medical insurance fund only a very small number of pharmacies.
