On February 11, the State Council New Office held a regular briefing on the State Council's policies to introduce the progress of deepening the reform of centralized procurement of drugs and high-value medical consumables. For the arrangement of consumable varieties such as implant teeth this year, Chen Jinfu, deputy director of the National Medical Insurance Bureau, introduced that in the first half of 2022, we will strive to launch the reform of the local collection and mining alliance of dental implants.

Chen Jinfu said that dental implants are an important way to repair missing teeth, and there is a great demand for society, and there are many services provided by medical institutions. Therefore, since last year, it has begun to deploy localities such as Sichuan to study the centralized procurement rules for implants. Now that the program is basically mature, and the opinions of various parties such as clinical and enterprises have been widely listened to, it is planned to launch a reform of the local collection alliance of dental implants in the first half of this year.
