In Wuhan Tongji, Concordia two hospital outpatient department men's toilets, blockboards and walls of the "collection of drug ads" abound. Some are interspersed in a pile of messy advertisements, and some are on a white wall conspicuously written "collection of drugs" and phone number. In Hubei's Zhongnan Hospital, the Provincial People's Hospital, Wuhan City Hospital, Children's Hospital, City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and other hospitals, there are also many small advertisements for drugs.
A large hospital cleaning staff complained to reporters, the recovery of drugs, "psoriasis", just cleaned off the front foot, the foot after someone wrote on it.
Wuhan Food and Drug Administration inspection branch responsible person received a reporter to reflect the analysis, such a dense "collection of drug ads" appeared in major hospitals, may be underground gangs. The person in charge said, the underground recycling, buying and selling drugs is illegal, the bureau will combine public security, health departments to crack down.
■Collection of drugs favor high-grade products
July 16, the reporter in a "collection of drug ads" on the "Mr. Wu" left the QQ number. The company's website is a good place to find out more about the company's products and services, and to learn more about its products and services.

■Pouring drugs show "a dragon"
Who in Wuhan crazy drug collection?7:20 am on June 15, Wuhan City? The mouth area drug supervision and public security economic investigation brigade jointly in the Hanshui three village 163 residential houses to investigate and deal with an underground drug collection dens, on-site seizure of "by sugar apples" and a large number of medicines and checkout lists.
After the investigation, the pair of men and women who received the drugs are people from Baoying County, Jiangsu Province, who bought the drugs at low prices and prepared to resell them to their hometowns at a price increase to earn the difference in price.
Wuhan drug inspectors check the case files over the years found that the Jiangcheng underground drug traffickers have a distinctive regional color - the vast majority of Jiangsu Baoying people. Their hometown with hometown, a large group, some throughout the country, long-term specialized in the illegal collection and sale of drugs.
Pharmaceutical inspectors said the underground drug collection has a black and thick chain: in the roadside or hospitals around the collection of drugs, usually called "horse"; "horse" after the collection of drugs, to the middle end of the chain of drug traffickers, who will then be the bulk of the drugs categorized and sorted out, assembled The higher level of drug traffickers (upline) to buy the whole piece of medicine to transfer, sell stolen.
It is reported that drugs in the recovery and resale process, profits are very substantial, often more than twice the purchase price of drugs or even higher.
■Targeting public health care
The reporter learned that the Wuhan Drug Administration has been on the underground collection of drugs to maintain a high-pressure situation. 2002 to August 2005, Wuhan Drug Administration banned the illegal collection of drugs 479 points. 2005 September, the Drug Administration publicly committed to the public to report the collection of drugs on the street after the investigation of the rewards. In the past two years, has been a cumulative total of 50 cash prizes for reporting, the prize money amounted to more than 14,000 yuan. But to this day, there are still many drug dealers in Wuhan engaged in hidden illegal drug collection activities. Among them, Qingshan District is the hardest-hit area of illegal drug collection.
Why has Qingshan District become the worst-hit area? A person in charge of the Wuhan Drug Administration Qingshan Branch analyzed that it is related to the medical insurance of WISCOM employees. He said, WISCO employees enjoy a special policy: employees to see a doctor, in general, 20% of the out-of-pocket expenses, the rest of the unit subsidies; work-related injuries and retirees enjoy a more favorable treatment to see a doctor.
It is this "special", so that some cheap workers to the hospital drugs sold to drug dealers, for example, each box of 100 yuan of drugs, although the self-funded 20 yuan, but if the 50 yuan sold to drug dealers can be a residual profit of 30 yuan. It is this kind of health insurance system with the color of public health care, making the Green Mountain District, compared with other areas, more illegal drug collection market.
■ Insufficient deterrent effect of regulations
Early 2006, Wuhan Food and Drug Administration jointly with the public security organs, in the Qingshan District, three bows on the road section of a private residence in the destruction of an underground collection of drugs, according to the law, more than 200 kinds of illegal drugs, the value of more than 120,000 yuan. This is the city over the years to investigate and deal with the largest case of illegal drug collection.
The authorities issued a fine of 100,000 yuan for the case, but did not pursue criminal liability for Liang (a native of Baoying, Jiangsu province). The reason was that the criminal conviction was based on the amount of illegal transactions, not the value of the seized items.
"Existing regulations are not enough of a deterrent for drug dealers!" Wuhan Municipal Bureau of Pharmaceutical Supervision, a responsible person said, so far, drug regulations for illegal drug collection is to "unlicensed operation", and administrative penalties, up to criminal penalties are still very few. The reason for this is that, in order to criminalize underground drug dealers (i.e., the crime of operating an illegal business), the transaction amount of the drug dealer must reach more than 50,000 yuan or the value of the illegal goods is more than 150,000 yuan. In general, the amount of money involved in the drug dealers can not reach this sentencing standards.
■Illegal recycling jeopardizes the safety of medication
How harmful is the recycling of drugs? Wuhan Municipal Bureau of Pharmaceutical Supervision Inspection Branch, said the illegal recycling of drugs, many of which are expired. Once these drugs flow back into the market, they will pose a great threat to the safety of patients' lives.
It is reported that, because the drug dealer is sporadic collection of drugs, finishing assembly after the change of hands, in the hoarding process, if you do not pay attention to preservation, or hoarding time is too long, some of the drugs are likely to expire or deterioration. In addition, there are even more unscrupulous drug dealers directly from the hands of the public recovery of expired drugs, and even fake drugs.
