The Health Commission ordered that public hospitals to clean up their stockpiles

Kaifeng public medical institutions high-value medical consumables procurement consortium units, who are not included in the selected list, will clean up the inventory before May 30, 2019, and convene the Hospital Pharmaceutical Administration Committee to select the high-value medical consumables use catalogue of the unit. Public hospitals in the consortium should strictly follow the requirements of Henan Health Commission for online platform click confirmation when purchasing. The Office of the Leading Group of the High Value Medical Consumables Purchasing Commonwealth will inspect the implementation of each unit in late June. In other words, all units in the purchasing consortium of high-value medical consumables in Kaifeng public medical institutions must select the high-value medical consumables in this catalogue and thoroughly clean up the existing stock of high-value medical consumables in hospitals before the end of next month. This also means that a number of consumables products will be eliminated! 

Henan previously issued document No. 5. In order to reduce the price of high-value consumables, the city (county) as a unit of joint procurement with volume, and organize medical institutions within the jurisdiction to form a procurement consortium, forming the "18+1" model. At present, all 18 cities have joined the bargaining army, Kaifeng is one of them. In view of this, Henan Public Resources Trading Center is responsible for collecting the lowest collecting price from other provinces and provinces as the reference price for purchasing consortium. If there are no high-value medical consumables from other provinces winning the bid and purchasing price from Henan Province, the purchasing consortium will negotiate (or compete) with the price of similar products according to the clinical needs. Implement online sunshine purchasing. Among the provincial medical institutions, the People's Hospital of Henan Province and the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, the two strongest hospitals in Henan Province, took the lead in bargaining for high-value consumables and diagnostic reagents at the beginning of last year. Following that, Henan Province explicitly took the lowest negotiation price of the two hospitals as the limit price, and all public hospitals in Henan Province should not exceed the negotiation price of the two hospitals when purchasing negotiated products.

The products of each city participating in the bargaining are also selected according to the provincial collecting catalogue, and the consumables with large clinical dosage in the medical institutions of this city's consortium are selected. Moreover, the lowest reference price is no longer limited to two provincial medical institutions, but a combination of local and municipal procurement reflects the lowest purchase price, which price is the lowest. Document No. 5 calls for price linkage, and prices between prefectures and municipalities further promote price reduction. A large number of consumables such as Medunli, Abbott and Camel have abandoned their bargaining in the consortium of Xinxiang City. In Kaifeng City, all public medical institutions in the consortium are required to re-select high-value consumables in the hospital according to the new selection catalogue, and to clean up the inventory in an all-round way. This means that after the bargaining frenzy, we started to clean up! The reform will certainly mean the beginning of shuffling, and the survival pressure faced by consumables enterprises will be greater!
