Ministry of Public Health announced a few days ago, chinese inland all blame seek profits quality medical establishment is clinical used medical devices, rise this year will unite by governmental sanitation service entirely evaluate, concentration is purchased. Alleged " concentration is purchased " , it is to press apanage to change administrative fundamental, it is dominant with the government, in the center of cent, 3 class of province and ground city, with provincial give priority to an organization to carry out, each medical establishment does not get avoid to be purchased centrally. (" capital times " reported on July 28)

.
Well-known, the purchase and sale of medical devices, already made the popular goods that medical establishment bribery takes bribes nowadays. According to people network coverage, only procuratorate of Sichuan province people defends a system in cure of complete 2006 province special in turning over commercial bribery to act, complete province has 36 hospitals dean to be investigated lawfully, among them only from tribute city amount of record of experience of a hospital amounts to many yuan 500. The tremendous bribe that because see hospital dean and business of medical devices contact place directly,forms just about buys a space, the angle that Ministry of Public Health just guards a pass from the government, rolled out " governmental dominant, concentration is purchased " act.

.
The biggest gain of this action depends on, according to the medical devices of distinct category, with 3 class of country, province, ground city the governmental credit of door of Ministry of Public Health, close the first when removed medical devices to purchase for broad patient. Theoretic be helpful for assuring to purchase quality really, inside the whole nation, complete province or whole town limits, form unified purchase cost and value, reduce the burden of patient and unit of purchase and sale, the commerce in preventing purchase and sale of medical devices at the same time boodles.

.
But, we should see more, "Governmental dominant, concentration is purchased " also not be all-purpose. Governmental sanitation branch is the person that guard a pass, have medical devices to enter the power to make decisions of city doorsill; The government is the person that purchase, although do not attribute management significance,go up purchase, cannot acquire legal person interest, but its staff member or organization are become extremely easily however " public relations " object. Although be in public mood, governmental credit wants credit of prep above commerce, but the government also is formed by the person, general human weakness exists likewise. Executed a government to be purchased centrally, after if be in,adding a current segment, obstacle no more than of the businessman is much object of a few public relations, the staff member that purchases finally centrally also is spent money by the family " square " if, its effect not more dreariness letting a person?

.
By this token, medical devices changes to be purchased centrally by the government, it is the change of content of a kind of form only. Should come true truly " reduce purchase cost, squeeze moisture of case of demand a low price, reduce patient burden, prevent commerce to boodle " original intention, what issue great strength to settle the scientific rigor that purchases a program, executive program even is legal change wait for a problem with supervisory strength.
