Yiweida
For half a year, a new round of "red envelopes and kickbacks" in public hospitals across the country was launched.
The National Health Commission issued a document to strictly investigate the "sale of gold" drugs and devices
On April 25, Health Gansu, a subsidiary of Gansu TV, announced that Gansu Province held a mobilization and deployment meeting for the masses and the surrounding unhealthy trends and corruption.
Subsequently, the WeChat public account of the Internet Hospital of Dingxi People's Hospital in Gansu Province released information revealing that this centralized rectification activity will be from April to October 2024 and will last for half a year.
The focus of rectification is: accepting red envelopes, defrauding medical insurance funds, "eating kickbacks" in the procurement of drugs, consumables, and medical devices, and increasing the burden on patients.
But in fact, in addition to Gansu, many provinces and cities across the country have launched the "red envelopes, kickbacks" rectification of public hospitals, Shanxi, Jiangxi, Henan, Hainan, Inner Mongolia, Yunnan, Shaanxi, Guizhou and other places have relevant information showing that the centralized rectification activities of the health system in 2024 have begun.
On April 19, the official website of the Jincheng Municipal Health Commission of Shanxi Province issued the "Announcement of the Special Working Group for the Centralized Rectification of Corruption in the Pharmaceutical Field of Jincheng City on Carrying out the Special Rectification of Illegal Out-of-hospital Drug Purchases in Public Hospitals".
The announcement pointed out that from April 19 to May 20, 2024, the special task force for the centralized rectification of corruption in the pharmaceutical field will carry out a one-month special rectification of illegal out-of-hospital drug purchases in public hospitals.
The special rectification mainly focuses on the illegal purchase of drugs outside the hospital in public hospitals, "eating kickbacks" and other related issues, including five types of problems:
Not only that, according to the recent revelations of the Yaosila plus platform, a local discipline inspection commission in Jiangsu also reported a case of "bringing gold" that was caught on the spot.
Obviously, in 2024, a new round of red envelopes and kickbacks for medical equipment in public hospitals across the country is in full swing.
The Commission for Discipline Inspection dispatched to remove the nail of "sales with gold"!
"Selling with money" has always been the most common and influential corruption in the medical field. Since the second half of last year, the National Health Commission and other 10 departments have jointly deployed to carry out the centralized rectification of corruption in the national pharmaceutical field, setting off a climax of medical anti-corruption, pointing out that the key points of rectifying medical corruption are:
First, the administrative departments in the pharmaceutical field "seek rent with power"; the second is the "gold sales" of key minorities and key positions in medical and health institutions, as well as drugs, equipment, consumables, etc.;
……
It can be seen that the focus of this year is not only on "sales with gold", but also on "rent-seeking with power" by administrative departments in the pharmaceutical field is also the core area of firepower.
