"Domestic products are cheap" has become a public concept, and poor quality and low price are synonymous with the public impression of domestic medical devices. As a result, imported medical devices account for about 90% of the domestic market. In fact, the quality of domestic medical devices has made great progress after years of efforts, but the public's habitual impression of it has not changed. We all know that domestic medical devices can do a good job in quality at the same time, but also can not be cheap. Domestic medical devices are initially priced low because of poor quality, and low pricing is difficult to improve quality. Vicious circle down, the impression has been formed in clinical practice: patients want to save money with domestic, the pursuit of quality with imported. At the same time, the country also encourages domestic medical products to reduce prices, so that more patients can be treated.
? "Difficult to see a doctor, expensive" has always been the label of China's medical community. In fact, this is the biggest misjudgment of medical problems, and the result of misjudgment is the wrong response, headache, and even worse. Under this misjudgment, the biggest effort made by China's medical reform in the past 30 years is to reduce prices. The core issue of China's healthcare system is not whether it is more expensive or cheaper, if the quality is not good, what is the point of cheaper? Overly distorted values can cause even more serious problems. After round after round of price cuts, many projects have been reduced to the cost price, much lower than the cost price, but the price cut has not brought any core problems to solve.
In fact, the price should be determined by the market. Anti-profiteering is our country often put forward the slogan, the slogan of many countries in the world is anti-monopoly, the connotation is actually the same, as long as there is no monopoly there is no profiteering, but these are worth our thinking. Patents have an expiration date, and giving inventors a social incentive through protection during the patent period encourages innovation. But by opening up to competition after the patent period, society can achieve some balance. Reasonable prices will lead to more innovation.
China's innovative products in recent years a large number of growth, quality performance comparable to or even beyond the international brand products, the future also to change the concept of "domestic products cheap", domestic products should not be synonymous with cheap. In this context, if the hospital wants to survive, it can only choose small profits and quick sales, improve efficiency like a production line, and constantly pursue patients to see a doctor, be hospitalized, operate and be discharged as soon as possible. Because of the profit, because China's knowledge is not valuable, the hospital can only live fast. Quality had to be put on the back burner, and even encouraged or disguised to encourage the use of a wide range of indications to schedule patients for hospitalization, examination and surgery.
