Twenty-seven years ago today, on March 11, 1998 (February 13, 1998 lunar calendar), the State Council planned to separate hospital and pharmacy revenues. In March 1998, Premier Zhu Rongji summed up several things the current government would do at a press conference as: "One ensures, three in place, and five reforms." Among them, the reform of the medical system is the fourth of the "five reforms". The upcoming reform of the medical system will implement a new mechanism for the separate management and accounting of hospital and pharmacy revenues. On November 26-27, the National Work Conference on the Reform of the Medical Insurance System for Urban Employees was held in Beijing. Vice Premier Li Lanqing said that the system of separate accounting and separate management of medicines should be implemented, and measures should be taken against "one person sees a doctor, and the whole family takes medicine." Medicine is going to be separated. Although many hospitals feel a crisis that has never been seen before, this is good news for the majority of people. In the past 10 years, people's wages have increased by 10 to 20 times, but medical expenses have increased by nearly 100 to 200 times. Twenty years ago, the cost of giving birth to a child in a hospital was only a dozen yuan, but now it is 1,000 to 4,000 to 5,000 yuan! The reality is that the medical expenses of the Chinese people are the most expensive in the world. The reason for this situation is that the traditional Chinese medicine and medicine are not separated from the family. Many doctors overprescribe expensive medicines, good medicines, and even replace medicines with drugs, regardless of whether the patient accepts them or not. In the "Wang Qiaoyun 80,000 Yuan Medical Expenses Fraud Case" investigated and dealt with by the Xuanwu District Public Security Bureau in Nanjing this year, it can be seen from the list of prescriptions issued by several hospitals: board duck, preserved eggs, fragrant belly, melon seeds, fast food noodles (100 boxes), American ginseng (3000 grams), rice cooker, Yuba, etc., everything. Before the major reform of medical separation was officially launched, many hospitals were already urgent for patients and implemented reforms. On July 1, 1998, Zhenjiang City decided to start a pilot program of drug procurement declaration in some hospitals at both levels of the urban area, and planned to establish a drug supply management center.
