Beijing Times: The online pharmacy may manage the empty high medicine price
Last week, claimed to enter Internet medicines trade market with 300 million fund in a new online pharmacy. By June 25, can inquire to in national food medicines supervise the network of administration bureau, 27 business scopes of medical enterprise which has obtained " Internet medicines' trade credentials " in all are " Provide medicines for personal consumer " . More online pharmacies are open, it is certainly good thing for consumer - -Competition fierce and abundant, the intersection of medicine and the intersection of price and substantial, less moisture naturally. It is really very cheap to buy medicines on the net. The statistics show, the online pharmacy is cheaper by more than 30% than the entity pharmacy. It is still very convenient for the network to purchase medicines, the next order on the net, the trade company will send medicines to home. Cheap and convenient, wouldn't consumers know and go after like a flock of ducks? The actual conditions are, most people purchase medicines and does not buy it to the network. According to the estimation by insider, the market share of the online pharmacy probably only accounts for 1/10000 of the market of whole medicines at present. The one that contrasted sharply with this is, the sales amount of the online pharmacy of developed country has already accounted for nearly 20% of the whole sales amount of the pharmacy at present. The annual sales amount of largest online pharmacy of U.S.A. is over 15 billion dollars. At home, develop only ten million yuan of pharmacy annual sales amount of network such as the ripest Golden Elephant net. It is to fail to be connected with the medical insurance that the domestic online pharmacy develops the greatest obstacle, it is unable to submit an expense account to purchase medicine on the net with the medical insurance. In addition, unable to sell prescribed medicine, and mix the genuine with the fictitious in the illegal online pharmacy, having caused consumers to the distrust purchasing medicine on the net, these reasons are all restricting the development of the online pharmacy. At present, it is the greatest worry seeking medical advice that people see the doctor that the medicine price is timid and high. The entity pharmacy is cheaper than the hospital dispensary, and the online pharmacy is cheaper than the entity pharmacy, but the patient holds the medical insurance card and can only just buy medicines in the highest hospital dispensary of the medicine price. This means too, the patient wants to submit an expense account and buys more expensive medicines, but the high share of medicine price that comes out can only be checked by the medical insurance. Perhaps, online pharmacy really can manage timid high the intersection of medicine and price, but prerequisite to need, give online the intersection of pharmacy and further fairer management environment!
