Increase the price difference of medical equipment

There are differences in drug prices between hospitals and pharmacies, mainly due to the following reasons: different procurement channels: hospitals directly purchase a large number of drugs from manufacturers or agents, while pharmacies purchase them through wholesalers, resulting in higher procurement costs. Operating costs are different: the operating costs of hospitals include medical equipment and staff salaries, while the operating costs of pharmacies include rent and staff salaries. These cost differences will also affect the price of drugs. Different profit rates: the profit rate of drugs in hospitals is usually lower than that in pharmacies, because the main purpose of hospitals is to provide medical services, and drugs are only a part of them; And pharmacies sell drugs as their main source of profit, so they usually set the price of drugs at a higher level. In a word, the prices of drugs in hospitals and pharmacies are different, but consumers should choose their own purchase channels according to their own needs, understand and compare prices, so as to get a better shopping experience.
