Chinese herbal pieces enter the list of basic drugs for the first time, and the zero price difference of Chinese herbal medicines can be waited for
A few days ago, the website of the National Health Planning Commission issued the Notice on Printing and Distributing the Administrative Measures for the National Essential Drugs List (hereinafter referred to as the Notice), and Chinese herbal pieces entered the national essential drugs list for the first time. Wang Guobao, deputy general manager of Beijing Heniantang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., believes that essential drugs are drugs that meet the basic medical and health needs, have appropriate dosage forms, are reasonably priced, can guarantee supply, and are fairly available to the public. The entry of Chinese herbal pieces into the national list of essential drugs not only plays an important supporting role in the development of Chinese herbal medicine industry, but also accelerates the transformation of medical model.
The Notice pointed out that all primary medical and health institutions organized by the government are equipped with and use essential drugs, and all other medical institutions must also use essential drugs according to regulations. The basic drug management of Chinese herbal pieces shall be temporarily implemented according to the policies and regulations of the relevant departments of the State Council on the pricing, procurement, distribution, use and basic medical insurance payment of Chinese herbal pieces. "Chinese herbal pieces enter primary medical institutions and enjoy the basic medical insurance policy, which will help to play the role of simple and inexpensive Chinese medicine in primary medical institutions and accelerate the transformation of medical model." Wang Guobao said.
Chen Fengfuzhen, Director-General of the World Health Organization, pointed out that in some countries, traditional medicine or unconventional medicine is called complementary medicine. Traditional and complementary medicine is an important and often underestimated component of health care. Traditional and complementary medicine can be found in almost every country in the world, and the demand for its services is increasing. Reliable, safe and effective traditional medicine helps to achieve the goal of ensuring everyone’s access to health care.
The WHO Traditional Medicine Strategy for 2014-2023 supports Member States to master the use of traditional and complementary medicine and integrate traditional and complementary medical services and self-health care into national health systems, thus promoting universal health coverage.
Chen Qiguang, executive head of the National Research Group of Traditional Chinese Medicine of China Academy of Social Sciences, said: "The World Health Organization has proposed to change from disease medicine to health medicine model, and Chinese medicine, as a traditional medicine in China, has unique advantages in preventing diseases and chronic diseases. The use of Chinese herbal pieces in primary medical institutions will increase the clinical strength of Chinese medicine in primary medical institutions and promote the transformation of medical model."
Wang Guobao believes that the entry of Chinese herbal pieces into the list of essential drugs plays an important supporting role in the development of a series of Chinese herbal medicine industrial chains, such as Chinese herbal medicine planting, variety cultivation and authenticity identification, and is conducive to the rapid development of the big health industry in China.
Shi Wankui, chairman of Beijing Minzhigu Management Consulting Co., Ltd., said that Chinese herbal pieces were allowed for medical insurance reimbursement before, but most areas were not included in bidding procurement, and the quality and price freedom of Chinese herbal pieces entering medical institutions were relatively large.
When Chinese herbal pieces enter the list of basic drugs, they will be included in the bidding system, and zero price difference will be implemented, so that large enterprises will compete for price and quality, thus benefiting patients. Moreover, the entry of Chinese herbal pieces into the list of basic drugs is a new symbol of the rising status of Chinese medicine, which is of great significance to promoting the development of Chinese medicine.
"Three in 2011, two in 2012, one in 2013 and two in 2014 … … We can win several projects to support Chinese medicine in the county every year. " Pan Luqun, dean of Fuchunjiang Town Health Center in Tonglu County, Zhejiang Province, counted with his fingers: "Last year, the county built a cream base and gave 10,000 yuan, and the training of general practitioners gave 0.4 million yuan. Last year, our income from Chinese herbal medicines reached 3.2 million yuan, accounting for 21% of all drug income. "
What Pan Luqun said is the special fund for traditional Chinese medicine issued by Tonglu County in 2010, with an annual income of 1 million yuan. "This 1 million is not given casually, but to you ‘ Bounce ’ Can you get it. " Pan Luqun said, "Last year’s two projects were selected from seven new Chinese medicine projects we launched."
Take Chinese medicine as a popular product
Can a hospital develop seven new Chinese medicine projects a year? Seeing that the reporter didn’t seem to believe it, Pan Luqun came one by one without thinking: "TCM constitution identification, Tai Ji Chuan kungfu club, winter disease treatment in summer, cream tonic, TCM weight loss, new TCM dermatology, and carrying out TCM classic inheritance … …”
"We have always regarded Chinese medicine as ‘ Popular products ’ Promoting to the masses, especially the concepts of preventing diseases by traditional Chinese medicine, health care and so on, is in line with our overall idea of building a civilized city, an eco-city, a garden city and a tourist city. " Wu Zhizhong, director of Tonglu County Health Bureau, said that in recent years, Tonglu County Party Committee and county government have successively issued policy documents such as opinions on further strengthening the development of Chinese medicine, opinions on vigorously strengthening Chinese medicine to enter the community, and implementation plans for improving the service capacity of Chinese medicine, and allocated special funds to promote the development of Chinese medicine.
Four years ago, He Jinqiao was transferred from another township to Zhongshan Town Health Center as the dean. Seeing that the health center was in a depressed state, He Jinqiao began to think: How can the health center be done well as soon as possible? After many investigations, He Jinqiao decided that only the development of Chinese medicine can save the hospitals. "On the one hand, the young and middle-aged laborers in Zhongshan have gone out to work, and many of the elderly left behind have chronic diseases. TCM conditioning and TCM health care are promising; On the other hand, Zhongshan is the hometown of stone materials. It is inevitable to deal with stones every day, and the orthopedics department of traditional Chinese medicine is also very useful. "
Through a series of measures, such as adjusting the personnel structure, introducing professionals, going out for further study and so on, one-third of the people in Zhongshan Health Center choose Chinese medicine every day, and one-third of their business income comes from Chinese medicine.
"For diseases like lumbar muscle strain, there is nothing western medicine can do, but Chinese medicine can show its talents. Acupuncture, massage, moxibustion and traction are all effective." Last year, He Jinqiao also introduced a college graduate majoring in TCM rehabilitation, and prepared to carry out TCM rehabilitation in due course: "In this way, we can go into patients’ families to provide services."
Form a Chinese medicine service network
Every day at 9~10 am and 2~3 pm, the flat-panel TV on the wall of Yuzhao Village clinic in Fuchunjiang Town will broadcast the health education video programs arranged by the county. "This program is mainly about Chinese medicine. For example, yesterday’s broadcast was to teach everyone to learn the Five-Animal Show." Dai Fasong, the person in charge of the clinic, said that there is also a university for the aged in the village. The village doctors in the clinic give a health education class once a week, and the lecture content is mainly Chinese medicine, and the audience is mainly the elderly.
Providing basic medical and health services as public goods to the whole people is one of the important contents of this round of medical reform. Tonglu county, according to the local actual situation and the actual needs of the masses, directly integrated Chinese medicine into basic public health services and sent it to every household.
With the help of the construction of primary health service system in health reform, the clinic of Yuzhao Village in Fuchunjiang Town has built an exquisite two-story building, which provides basic medical care and basic public health services for about 5,000 villagers nearby, including acupuncture, massage, scraping and other practical techniques of traditional Chinese medicine.
Dai Fasong introduced that during the reform, the clinic and the town health center implemented integrated rural management. Doctors from the health center often went to the clinic to serve the villagers, and the team of village doctors in the clinic gradually stabilized. Today, there are 4 people in Yuzhao village clinic, with an annual business volume of more than 400,000 yuan, and the average annual income of village doctors is about 55,000 yuan.
