Role experience:
20 15, 47-year-old Lu Yong is the owner of a knitwear export enterprise (Wuxi Zhensheng Knitwear Co., Ltd.) in Wuxi, Jiangsu.
In 2002, Lu Yong was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia. At that time, the doctor recommended him to take the anticancer drug "Gleevec" produced by Novartis. Taking this medicine can stabilize the condition and lead a normal life, but it needs to be taken continuously. The price of this medicine is as high as 23,500 yuan per box, and a patient with chronic myeloid leukemia needs to take one box every month. The cost of medicine and treatment almost exhausted his family.
In June, 2004, Lu Yong stumbled upon an Indian-made imitation of "Gleevec" anticancer drug, which has almost the same efficacy, but only costs 4,000 yuan for a box. The comparative test results of two kinds of Gleevec in India and Switzerland show that the similarity of drug properties is 99.9%. Lu Yong started taking the imitation "Gleevec" and shared the news with his patients in August of that year. Subsequently, many patients asked them to help buy this medicine, and the number reached thousands.
In September 2004, the "group purchase price" has dropped to about one box in 200 yuan.
