Medical anti-corruption attracts attention! Have hospitals received billions in refunds? Official refutation of rumors!
Recently, the concentrated rectification of corruption in the pharmaceutical field across the country has attracted much attention. The Shanghai rumor debunking platform has noticed that many "self-media" accounts are engaged in headline parties, using the name of anti-corruption to rub traffic, lead the rhythm, spread rumors and make trouble, and confuse the public. Recently, an online account disseminated a set of so-called "refund data" after "self-inspection and self-correction" of many hospitals in Shanghai, amounting to billions of yuan, which attracted public attention. After verification and comparison by the Shanghai rumor debunking platform, the data of this group was pieced together and fabricated by the "self-media" account. Its source is actually an article published by the People's Daily Health Client in April, "Top 100 Announcements of China's Hospitals' 2023 Revenue Budget", not a "refund" as claimed by "self-media". In addition, after tracing the source investigation, the account that first published the rumor came from a male netizen in Hubei, and the public security and internet information departments will seriously deal with this account according to law.
