Recently, the Internet exposed a few news attracted the attention of netizens, are about the incident of doctors receiving kickbacks, one is the Wanning City, Hainan Province, and the music center health center doctor Zhang (a pseudonym) to the media, including himself, the hospital, many doctors there are acceptance of drug dealers kickbacks. Second, a woman in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, sent a video to report that her doctor husband, Wu, had taken advantage of his position to receive large amounts of kickbacks. The author has also compiled relevant information showing that doctors receiving kickbacks in the medical system is a norm for the following reasons.
First of all, there is a huge output of benefits, by accepting kickbacks, you can realize financial freedom in time. We all know that the use of a drug in the hospital are relatively large, hospitals are in the millions of dollars for each purchase. Usually come to calculate 10-15% kickbacks, 1 million is 100-15 million, which is almost a doctor's salary income for the majority of the year. It is precisely because there is a huge output of benefits that prompts doctors to take risks. That's why accepting kickbacks has become the norm in hospitals.
Secondly, drug manufacturers and drug intermediaries are contributing to the problem. Drug manufacturers and intermediaries in order to the medical products into the hospital, think of all kinds of marketing methods. At present, China's pharmaceutical industry is more fully competitive, all types of drugs have more manufacturers in the production. Therefore, manufacturers and intermediaries will use the profit-sharing approach to cooperate with doctors, so that doctors use their own drugs in clinical visits, and then give a commission. Pharmaceutical companies, on the one hand, collude with hospital purchasing staff through their connections, and on the other hand, try to do everything they can to get through to the doctors, working up and down the chain of command, so that the medicines are eventually delivered to the hospital pharmacies. As a result of the pharmaceutical company's unusual sales tactics, resulting in hospital doctors receiving kickbacks in the hospital has become the norm.
So to summarize, due to the existence of huge benefits driven by the pharmaceutical company's illegal marketing methods led to the doctor to accept kickbacks become a norm. In addition from a regulatory point of view should strengthen the supervision of pharmaceutical procurement.
