Healthcare organizations have high costs of their own. Hospitals have huge staff and equipment overheads that need to be maintained, upgraded and updated, all of which cost a lot of money. In addition to this, hospitals also need to purchase a variety of drugs, instruments and other medical supplies, which are also expensive, so hospitals must have sufficient financial support in order to maintain normal operations, so the price of drugs naturally increases.
Price strategy of drug manufacturers. Drug manufacturers also have a certain impact on the development of hospital drug prices. Some large drug manufacturers often set up exclusive counters or points of sale in hospitals, thus raising the price level, and hospitals are forced to raise their sales prices because of their partnership with these companies.
The lack of patient choice. Since the patients' right to choose the drugs is low and the doctors' right to prescribe is high, some doctors may take the high-priced drugs as their first choice of drugs, and the patients are not sensitive to the prices of the drugs, and such a situation may also lead to the increase of the prices of the drugs in the hospitals.
Profit considerations of medical organizations. Some medical organizations will increase the price of drugs in order to pursue higher profits. Although the 0 price difference policy for hospital drugs is beneficial to patients, there is no guarantee that hospitals will not use this policy to pursue higher profits.
National health insurance policy restrictions. Some high-priced drugs are too expensive and beyond the scope of national health insurance payment, which means that if patients need to use these drugs, they have to buy them at their own expense, and such a situation will also lead to an increase in drug prices.
In summary, although the hospital drugs are 0 price difference, but for various reasons, the price is still very high
