China charity federation denied the rumors through various government official website, but he was still questioned by netizens: an Indian pharmaceutical engineer once calculated the production cost of Gleevec and announced that the actual production cost of this drug was less than 40 yuan RMB, even higher than 400 yuan, and it was sold at a price of 25,000 yuan/month in a hospital in China; Because the so-called patented medicine is extremely expensive, the Indian government copied this medicine, and the retail price is only 1300 yuan.
South Korea only sells 3,000 yuan, and the United States sells 8,000 yuan (because these drugs are included in medical insurance abroad, but not in China). There are 500,000 patients in China who can't afford this medicine, so they have to buy the generic drug Gleevec from India through illegal channels.
-Therefore, Novartis Pharmaceuticals colluded with china charity federation to reduce prices in disguise and made the policy of "buy three and get nine free". That is, buy three months and give nine months-this so-called donation method is not only complicated, but also the price is seven times higher than that of Indian medicine; In other words, patients must spend more than 80,000 yuan a year to buy this medicine (90% of the places in China have not included this medicine in medical insurance). Some netizens even questioned: Today, people in china charity federation are still picking holes, saying that they have not benefited from it, then,
Excuse me, 1: Why does a box of medicine cost less than that of 40 yuan cost 25,000 yuan? (Where did the huge profits go? )
Question 2: Since it is a so-called drug donation, why should we set up a charity Federation (neither a drug regulatory agency nor a medical unit)?
Question 3: Why are the prices of genuine Swiss medicines so low in different countries, especially in developed countries, but many times higher in China?
Question 4: Why do consumers not only pay invoices, but also boxes and aluminum plates when they buy medicines for several months, including donated medicines (what are you afraid of?
Question 5: When the patent right of the so-called Swiss genuine medicine expired (it is said to be 20 15), you introduced the second-generation medicine substitution; Why not just push the second generation medicine now?
In view of this, china charity federation responded:
The dispensing procedure is extremely strict.
"The drug distribution procedure of this project is almost abnormal." Yesterday, Zhuang Maorong, who worked in the dispensing point of Gleevec in Suzhou for three years, told this reporter that the dispensing procedure of Gleevec aid construction project is extremely strict. Take patients with chronic myeloid leukemia as an example, the approval process takes 3 months to 6 months.
According to Zhuang Maorong, drugs will be sent to various distribution points regularly. Only the only designated specialist can sign for the gleevec medicine, and others have no right to sign for it. Once the medicine was sent to the wrong place by the courier company, Beijing Geban immediately sent someone to Suzhou to investigate the whole process of taking medicine and changed the courier company.
Gleevec's assistance must be received by the patient himself. When receiving the medicine, the patient can only take the granular medicine away. The medicine box and aluminum-plastic board should be recycled and sent to Beijing, and the patient should sign the medicine box. If the distribution point needs to be changed due to the change of permanent residence, in principle, it can only be changed once in a lifetime.
Zhuang Maorong said that under normal circumstances, drug distribution points can only get one month's inventory, drugs are regularly distributed by Beijing Ge Office, and drug distribution points have safes. Zhuang Maorong said that controlling the inventory at the distribution point is to prevent problems at the distribution point. Compared with the monthly travel expenses of several hundred yuan, it can save about 25 thousand medicine expenses, which is still worth visiting.
