求医问药是每个人都会碰到的事情。过去,城镇居民实行公费医疗制度,使得医药管理体制的诸多弊端暴露得似乎不够显性化。比如说,医药“宰”病人实际上是“宰”国家,无关病人痛痒。近年来,随着城镇医疗保险体制改革的推行,消费者对医药费用变得越来越敏感了,不满和投诉也逐年增长。明年,中国即将加入WTO,据悉,2003年国内医药市场将全面开放,药品进口关税将由20%降至6.5%。届时,国外药品将大量涌入,更大的冲击将袭向国内制药企业特别是以抗生素为主的西药生 Asking for medical advice is something that everyone will encounter. In the past, the implementation of a publicly funded medical system by urban residents has exposed many abuses of the medical management system to seemingly not obvious. For example, the medical “slaughter” patient is actually a “slaughter” country, and it doesn’t affect patients. In recent years, with the implementation of the reform of the urban medical insurance system, consumers have become more and more sensitive to medical expenses, and dissatisfaction and complaints have also increased year by year. Next year, China is about to join the WTO. It is reported that in 2003, the domestic pharmaceutical market will be fully open, and the import duty on drugs will be reduced from 20% to 6.5%. By then, there will be a large influx of foreign drugs, and a bigger impact will hit domestic pharmaceutical companies, especially Western medicine students, mainly antibiotics.
