An urgent report on the implementation of a new mechanism for centralized procurement of pharmaceuticals in our province was circulated online on September 11, 2007. The document was signed by the zhejiang pharmaceutical industry association, which mainly reflects the problems existing in zhejiang pharmaceutical industry.
According to the content of the Internet file, the document collected opinions from nearly 20 mainstream drug manufacturers in zhejiang province, which mainly focused on lowering the price of drugs and fairness of the procurement process.
The price of medicine is hard to bear
Network file transfer, according to most lowest price linkage among the various provinces and cities in zhejiang province won the bid for drugs at the lowest price, the bid prices of medicines account for more than 70% of the lowest price for a long time, the related drug firms reaction is very strong.
The price reduction is even more striking, with the price of generic chemical drugs being cut by 10-15%, and the reduction of medium and traditional medicines by 15-20%, and the number of winning bids is greatly reduced. If the company does not accept it, it will be eliminated. In wenzhou, for example, the second round of price, 3800 rules, and the final entry of only 1,800.
In addition, the decline of domestic drugs is far greater than that of imported drugs. Statistics show that the average value of imported drugs fell by 1.82 per cent, while the average domestic drug dropped by 16.5 per cent, a full 8 times higher. It can be seen that domestically produced drugs are more miserable than imported ones at the price reduction level.
Price negotiation disorder
As we all know, pharmaceutical companies in the process of drug tendering, besides facing the price reduction at the provincial level, it is more important to deal with the purchase of the belt of various regions and hospitals.
According to the network file, some areas of the purchase of the purchase first in the name of the medical association of the nominal price, the hospital after the winning of the price. Regulations on even the back of the bargaining not higher than the previous negotiation as a result, other areas have bargaining if bargain in other parts of the lower back, will be re-evaluated, under such wheel war of bargaining, the enterprises suffering.
Still other drug companies reflect, "the decline is big say the coverage is not high, the coverage is high again say the drop is too small, the drop is big and the coverage is high again say the expert disagrees", think of the mark is sad to make a day anyway.
In addition to the situation in zhejiang province, there were insiders at the end of last year who reflected the unfair phenomenon in the bidding of various consortia in various countries, even when they were reported to have held banners to protest.
Procedural roughness
In the past two years, under the procurement policy to push drugs with mass, all localities and bargaining notice rushed to the hospital, for a lot of medicine, recruit staff did not have the weekend did not have the holiday, the endless overtime.
According to the network file transfer, zhejiang bargain price negotiation publishing platform, release time and cycle, bargaining is not clear, such as the content, the negotiation process not unified, not transparent, simple and crude, some even are released in the middle of the night, don't give a reasonable time to prepare production enterprises. For example, jinhua's online price negotiation catalogue and notice on June 10 (Saturday) required the production enterprises to arrive at the site before 8 June (Sunday). The lishui city hospital community issued a notice on August 15, and the company's registration time was limited to 3 hours on Aug. 22.
For medicine recruit personnel, medicine for regular work, all kinds of public, submit the material is complicated enough, so simple and crude bargaining time arrangement, the medicine not only recruit people burned out, what is more important in drug prices cut cut again, corporate profits are more and more low, also increased the burden of human and material resources.
As everyone knows, after the provincial bidding and the hospital negotiation, the drug companies have been cut down to cut down the price. We sincerely hope that the bidding enterprises can compete in a reasonable, transparent and fair environment.
