Qun angry but helpless.

held in Chongqing City, a pharmaceutical bidding will, actually let him in charge of long queues in Chongqing Industrial Group 3 pharmaceutical company in trouble - drugs to reduce the estimated total annual sales of 6 million, part of the production line was forced to stop production.

Qun strong doubts that the tender in the evaluation, calibration procedure, the selection criteria is extremely unreasonable, causing their own business, part of the high-quality low-cost drugs can not be short-listed candidates. None of the complaints in many fruits, the outsiders who are known as "the first person of Chinese folk medical reform," the 45-year-old guy would be pushing the dock of Chongqing Health Bureau.

6 30, which sued the Health Bureau of Chongqing since the tender illegal drugs case in the trial court Yubei. Qun Ren pro agent, exposing the pain to appear on drug bidding system decades ills of alienation.

the present case is still pending, the parties are awaiting the results, but the Chinese medicine sector in Chongqing, attracted wide attention, has triggered a new round of boiling resentment against the high drug price.

drug bidding brewing storm

this drug bidding will occur on March 17 this year, the Health Bureau of Chongqing subordinate organizations of Centralized Procurement Service Center held. It is a new round of Chongqing, the centralized procurement of essential drugs, 1185 pharmaceutical companies involved in registration, bidding pharmaceutical product regulations 9663.

5 17, through expert quantitative evaluation, qualitative evaluation and negotiation, the outcome pre-finalists, a total of 2536 successful product regulation. The same day, Liu inquiry found that he's three companies - Chongqing-day Saint Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd., Hubei day Saint Tsing Hua Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Hubei days Shengkang Di Co., vote for the 56 drugs, only short-listed 37 species.

5 月 20 medical institutions in Chongqing City, the centralized procurement of medicines and medical devices Leading Group held a teleconference to announce from the June 1 start from the results of the implementation of the centralized purchasing. This allows a very tight Liu Qun, three pharmaceutical companies last year, his drug sales in Chongqing 1.25 billion, as total sales by successful implementation of the outcome will be halved, part of the production line had to stop production.

Qun understand is the self that he brought high-quality, high yield, low offer was not part of the winning candidate drugs, while the publicity of the bid price instead of pharmaceutical drugs than his high bid . "For example, the same is Wujibaifeng Pills water pill, 6 grams of 10 bags, and other pharmaceutical companies in the price is 16.36 yuan, 12.89 yuan and we offer only failed to bid; also Banlangen 20 bags of 10 grams Other companies in the price is 11.20 yuan, and we offer is 7.33 yuan. "

the Chongqing municipal existence of essential drugs tender prices were inflated, but will also lead to the Chongqing District Health Board's attention.

5 月 20, Qianjiang District, Chongqing Health Bureau, Health Bureau to the delivery of emergency reports, said the city-wide drug concentration of the tender price is higher than the vast majority of drugs in the same district last year the purchase price of medicines is also higher than the price of basic pharmacy.

report, in October 2009, Qianjiang District centralized procurement of drugs inquiry Goods Regulations 2267 (of which 647 items of essential medicines regulation), and the centralized procurement of essential medicines in Chongqing in the chemicals regulation, the production 186 pharmaceutical manufacturers in exactly the same species, are commonly used in medicine.

compare the purchase price of 186 drugs found that the purchase price higher than the Chongqing Qianjiang District, there are 169 kinds of the purchase price, the purchase price in Chongqing Qianjiang District, an average of 77% of the purchase price. Among them, the municipal purchase price of less than 50% of the 43 varieties, more than 50% to 1 times the 32 drugs; than 1 are 94 times more.

Chongqing municipal purchase price of essential medicines, and many are higher than the market price. Pharmaceutical shares such as four-Chuan Kelun specifications produced by sodium chloride injection 100ml bottle market price of 1.6 yuan, the price for the 3.22 yuan; 500ml size of sodium chloride injection, bag market price of 3 yuan, the successful tenderer price of 6.26 yuan.

the centralized purchasing of many drugs in the price far higher than other provinces. For example, a patient in the same Yaan 39 Pharmaceutical products "to sell injection parameters," a course, spend 1,305 yuan in Sichuan, Guangdong, 1,507 yuan, while the price Zexu 2193.75 yuan in Chongqing, Sichuan more than 888.75 yuan.

whether to implement the municipal centralized purchasing results, Qianjiang District Health Board was caught in a dilemma. If implemented, the whole region district health institutions, township health centers and community health services, essential drugs prices will rise an average of 70% -80%, primary care health facilities will face crisis. Meanwhile, drug prices will increase the burden on the people of medicine, lead to instability.

following Qianjiang District, the Dianjiang, Fengdu, etc. have also to the local health bureau and the Chongqing Municipal Health Bureau of the Government to fight the report, the city of pharmaceutical bidding price is significantly higher, may trigger a chain of adverse reactions, "should be high priority."

forced to sue health bureau

caught in the plight of heaven, Chongqing Industrial Group Chairman Qun long queues as early as May 18, the Chongqing Municipal Health Bureau to submit the "urge my group of drugs not included in winning bid scope of the request, "but received no response.

then, he has also repeatedly to the Chongqing Municipal Health Bureau, the city of Industry and Commerce, and the Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau, disabled (three companies are corporate welfare of persons with disabilities, in accordance with the provisions of government procurement activities should have Under the same conditions, priority) and other departments complaint. Liu Qun, said he was even two to the Secretary of Health flexor modest office in Chongqing in order to communicate, "but every time he scolded them."

helpless, the self-proclaimed "one bar" from the Liu angrily decided to sue its three businesses while Chongqing Municipal Health Bureau, "The tender illegal drugs in the evaluation, calibration process, the selection standard setting is extremely unreasonable and improper reason to exclude our high-quality, high yield, low offer some candidates short-listed drugs, causing serious damage to legitimate interests. "

Qun action personally as three companies agents, three days and nights spent drafting a proxy word itself.

6 月 morning of 30 cases in the Court of Yubei public hearing. Liu Qun first challenge in court the defendant directly organized Chongqing Municipal Health Bureau, presided over the eligibility of bidding and purchasing drugs, "Chongqing Municipal Health Bureau as an administrative supervisory departments, only centralized drug purchasing supervisor, the centralized purchasing system directly involved in drugs violations. "

of Chongqing Municipal Health Bureau said in response, according to the Ministry of Health and other ministries and nine "on the issuance of of the notice", they hold this public bidding, there is no law.

competitively priced drugs can not be successful, it is the focus of the defendant challenged the court Liu Qun. He believes that some of their drug prices than other manufacturers failed to finalists; of which drug prices lower than some price, even accredited the lowest tender price is also not nominated.

Chongqing Municipal Health Bureau has argued, this year to participate in the centralized procurement of essential drugs in Chongqing successful rate of 27.96%, National Tsing Hua Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. Sheng Hubei days of winning rate of 26.67% and the city's successful rate is very.

Chongqing Municipal Health Bureau agents believe that the centralized procurement of drug evaluation at the Chongqing Municipal Government, "Office for Rectifying" and the Health Discipline Supervision & supervision of staff involved throughout, as well as local city people's congress, under the supervision of the CPPCC members, organizing the expert group to carry out, and all those involved in drug Junan tender implementation plan evaluation method of drugs were evaluated.

However, Liu evaluation methods on drugs "allegations." He graciously said that the municipal health bureau of non-evaluation committee, which enter the evaluation process, seriously affected the fairness of evaluation activities, gave the executive powers of intervention may be inappropriate.

and the evaluation of experts, only two days on the evaluation of more than 9000 varieties of drugs. Liu Qun that in such a short time so many varieties of quality assessment and could not make a strict and accurate determination, "they even rate the only seat of your pants."

"the first person bidding against drugs"

Liu Qun, 1989, entered the pharmaceutical industry, pharmaceutical companies and has its own distribution company, is well known in Chongqing private entrepreneurs, billionaire . He is member of the CPPCC Chongqing, Chongqing Medical Association vice president. But most draw attention to is his other identity - "Huimin China Medical Action" founder and promoter.

2006, the Liu Qun launched known as the domestic private medical reform version of the "Huimin China Medical Action", which is a joint pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, insurance companies, doctors encircling the cities from rural areas change action. Action in the chain, there is no medical representatives and pharmaceutical sales links, people only pay 20 yuan to buy a membership card membership fee, in designated hospitals and 13.6% of the drugs can enjoy direct subsidies, and 5% -20% The inspection and examination fee remission.

this model was evaluated as directed at the shortcomings of China's medical reform, the pharmaceutical industry to remove all layers of kickbacks, black-box operation rule, triggered multi-interests. He therefore called "private medical reform the first person."

Since 2000, Chongqing, pharmaceutical tender 6. In fact, as early as 2002, Liu to come out to open tender and overnight against the drugs, known as the "domestic opposition to the bidding of drugs the first person." The grounds for objection are: on the one hand, the rules set no legal evaluation, evaluation procedures are not illegal; the other hand, drug tender restricted free competition market players.

"decade of implementation of bidding and purchasing drugs proved counterproductive, it is neither possible nor lowering drugs reduce drug prices, but can not reduce medical costs." Liu Qun bluntly, drug tender was behind Alienation , is a health sector-led, manufacturers, agents at all levels, health insurance sector, the price department, pharmaceutical bidding departments, hospitals involved in the formation of a large chain of interest.

"only produce high-priced drugs, sales of expensive drugs, high drug tender, use high-priced drugs, manufacturers, vendors, bidding officials, hospitals and doctors will have a good profit." Qun think it break this impasse, medical practices need a system to find defects.

this end, Liu proposed "equal distribution theory", from the factory to the various drugs in circulation are the delivery system to implement the same price; while establishing trading drugs distribution center to form a network transparent drugs trading platform for the national pharmaceutical companies to drugs on a unified trading platform.

This way you can eliminate multi-agency, cut off the circulation of the improper benefit chain. Liu Qun pleased to Chongqing pharmaceutical Exchange has been set up in March this year, will start trading test run.
