Why are drugs sold at hospitals at a higher price than the market price?

Hospital drugs are sold at a higher price than the market price, which is related to the following factors:

1. High purchasing cost: when purchasing drugs, hospitals usually don't go to the pharmacy as ordinary people do, but purchase them from manufacturers or distributors through bidding and other means, which makes the purchasing cost relatively high.

2. High labor cost: hospitals need to employ a large number of pharmacists, pharmacy administrators and related personnel to manage the storage, distribution and dispensing of drugs.

3. High operating costs: hospitals need to purchase various drug management systems, such as ERP, LIMS and other software, and also need to carry out safety management, quality control, procurement and distribution of drugs, which all require certain operating costs.

4. Profit margins: Hospitals also need to consider their profit margins when selling medicines in order to be able to operate the hospital better.

So, although the hospital drugs are 0% price difference, the selling price is relatively high because of the high cost of hospitals in terms of procurement, labor and operation, as well as the need to take into account their own profit margins.
