The file from American Ministry of Justice reveals, from 2003 to 2007, Siemens medical group has paid the bribery fund of about 14,400,000 dollars together, bribe to 5 hospitals in China, thus has obtained the medical apparatus order of 295 million dollars. In addition Siemens sell project, pay, bribe style by 9 million to 231 independent hospital also. Perhaps, this copy can let people understand why go hospital think one disease consume the intersection of peasant and one year income soon while being huge to bribe list, individual can let a well-off family go bankrupt when falling ill. The hospital excessively uses the medical equipment, not only aggravate patient's burden, but also let the medical expenditure that originally awkwarded seem more insufficient. Come from customs' data to reveal, the import volume of medical equipment of our country is 4,282 million dollars in 2007.

Obviously, attack the meaning bribed in medical treatment and not merely lie in eliminating the market of medical apparatus, safeguard fair play, help to reduce the hospitalization cost, find out the medical cost. Relevant department should regard this case as breakthrough point is thorough to check medical treatment bribe, establish the good prerequisite for the next health care reform.
