The opinions of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on deepening the reform of the medical and health system is a balanced, comprehensive medical reform plan that takes into account the interests of all parties. It puts forward many practical and effective methods to alleviate the problem of "difficult and expensive to see a doctor" for the broad masses of the people, and forms a broad consensus on the establishment of the list of essential medicines, In particular, the pharmaceutical business, the industry generally believe that; What are the impacts.

1、 The sales scale of low price general medicine will increase

The "opinions" put forward that urban community health service centers (stations), township hospitals, village clinics and other basic medical and health institutions should all be equipped with and use essential drugs, and other medical institutions should also take essential drugs as the first drug and determine the proportion of use. It also stipulated that all essential drugs should be included in the drug reimbursement catalogue of the basic medical security system, and the reimbursement proportion was significantly higher than that of non essential drugs. At the present stage, in order to achieve the full coverage of medical security, it must be at a low level. Whether from the expansion of the number of primary medical institutions, or from the composition of essential drugs, the sales of low-cost general medicine is bound to increase.

2、 Reduced demand for alternative high priced drugs

The new "prescription management measures" implemented in 2007 requires doctors to use the generic name of drugs, the external name of patented drugs and the name of compound preparations instead of the trade name, which makes the high price drugs of some joint ventures replaced by the corresponding domestic low price drugs. After the health care reform, we will actively explore the establishment of a negotiation mechanism between medical insurance agencies, medical institutions and drug suppliers, give full play to the restrictive role of medical security institutions in medical services and drug costs, improve the payment system, and actively explore the implementation of capitation payment, payment by disease, total prepayment, etc. These measures will, to a certain extent, curb the use of expensive drugs.

3、 Demand for irreplaceable high priced drugs remains unchanged

The "opinions" encourage enterprises and individuals to solve the needs beyond the basic medical security by participating in commercial insurance and various forms of supplementary insurance. In the early stage of health care reform, the basic medical security is at a low level, so there will be a large market for non essential drugs, and there is still a large space for high-end generic drugs to replace imported drugs. After the implementation of generic drugs from the low price pricing system, which will inhibit low-level duplication of construction. According to this pricing method, together with other restrictive measures, it is expected to control the number of imitation enterprises of each kind of non patented drug in a small number, which provides institutional guarantee for those enterprises with the ability of first imitation to obtain higher profits.

4、 The demand for traditional Chinese medicine is extremely guaranteed

In the basic principles of medical reform, the "opinions" put forward that we should give full play to the role of traditional Chinese medicine and explore the establishment of a basic medical and health system in line with the national conditions. We should strengthen the construction of clinical research base and hospital of traditional Chinese medicine, organize and carry out joint research on the prevention and treatment of difficult diseases of traditional Chinese medicine, and vigorously promote the appropriate technology of traditional Chinese medicine in medical and health institutions. With the gradual implementation of relevant measures, TCM is expected to find a foothold in the grassroots, which is of great significance to the development of TCM and the expansion of TCM sales.
