After seeing Qi Yaping and Yun Heng off, Wang Weiping sat alone in the office with a serious expression.
To be frank, the pharmaceutical sector has always been the biggest piece of cake in the medical industry. Pharmaceuticals and medical devices are the two pillars supporting the entire medical industry.
Many patients and their families know that hospitals charge high fees, medical expenses are expensive, hospitals are unaffordable, and it is difficult to see a doctor. There are even various jokes and videos online that make fun of hospitals. There are fees for examinations, and you have to pay for the medical equipment you buy and use it on. So, should the chef charge for the wok and props when cooking a meal?
On the surface, hospital medical expenses are indeed very high, and the country spends hundreds of billions of dollars on medical care every year.
However, few people calculate where these expenses go. Such huge medical expenses and medical income are mostly used for medical development and scientific research.
Medicine is an industry that needs to keep pace with the times, and medical research cannot stagnate. Many patients and their families can only see what is in front of them, such as how much money they have spent, how much the hospital costs, how unscrupulous they are, etc., but few people take medical research funds into account.
As the saying goes, "One minute on stage takes ten years of hard work off stage." How many resources does it take to grow into a mature doctor? How much does it cost to build the medical field from scratch and from backwardness to keeping pace with the times?
These are actually all medical costs. Medical costs are not simply medicines, equipment, and labor. Any large hospital must have its own laboratories and research institutes, and a large amount of money must be invested every year to ensure that the hospital is not eliminated and always stands at the forefront of medical care.
While state support is only part of such a huge amount of scientific research funding, the most critical one is the revenue generated by the hospital itself. A hospital that relies on state funding for a long time cannot last long.
Many people have heard that hospitals are non-profit organizations. Many people wonder how they can not make a profit if they charge such high fees. But in fact, apart from factors such as corruption by unscrupulous doctors or unscrupulous leaders, hospitals are indeed non-profit organizations. Apart from normal expenses, the rest of the expenses are basically used to support the hospital's medical research. These are invisible costs and are also the costs that patients and their families are most likely to ignore or are unwilling to face.
Apart from this cost, the largest cost expenditure in the medical industry is medicines and medical devices. The cake of medicines and medical devices is very large, and there are many people who share the profits from it, including pharmaceutical companies, medical device suppliers, distributors, hospitals, etc.
All the units, enterprises and individuals involved will make a profit from it, and no one in the world will do anything without profit.
Wang Weiping is very clear about how huge the profits are in the pharmaceutical industry, and he is also very clear about how deep the problems involved in the pharmaceutical industry are.
Qi Yaping brought Yun Heng over and delivered samples of Chinese medicinal materials from the West Asia Community Hospital. There was a problem with the quality of the Chinese medicinal materials. Wang Weiping was not sure whether it was a problem of one person or many people. If it was the former, it would be easy to deal with, but if it was the latter, then the problem would be serious. If a larger pharmaceutical company was involved, then the problem would not be just with the West Asia Community Hospital, and the severity of the problem would not even be something Wang Weiping could handle.
To be frank, Wang Weiping, the director of the Beiyang District Health Bureau, is only at the section chief level.
This matter must be investigated, and it must be investigated as soon as possible, but Wang Weiping is still very confused about how to start.
After sitting in the office for a while, Wang Weiping packed up and left the office with the medicinal samples sent by Yun Heng.
......
Qi Yaping's vehicle was an electric bike. When they came, Yun Heng rode it and Qi Yaping sat in the back. When they came back, Yun Heng still rode it and Qi Yaping sat in the back.
As they walked back, Qi Yaping said to Yun Heng, "Xiao Yun, from now on, the responsibility of procuring Chinese medicinal herbs for our community hospital will be handed over to you. In the next two days, you can look for suitable suppliers of Chinese medicinal herbs and get a batch of them first. Once our community hospital is operating normally, we can strive to regain the purchasing rights for the herbs later."
Qi Yaping was really scared by Yun Heng's sudden words just now.
If you really think about it carefully, whether it is in the matter of Gong Zhihong or in today's incident, Qi Yaping seems to be using Yun Heng as a gun, because apart from Yun Heng, Qi Yaping has no other connections or backing.
If it weren't for Yun Heng, Qi Yaping would just be an ordinary community health center director. In the entire Beiyang District, there are more than a dozen community health center directors like her, so Qi Yaping has to rely on Yun Heng for many things. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is relying on the power of Yun Heng.
Before, Qi Yaping thought that Yun Heng might not care or might not understand, but Yun Heng's sudden words just now made Qi Yaping understand that Yun Heng actually knew a lot of things, but just didn't say it.
Fortunately, Qi Yaping asked herself what she had done during this period and felt that it was still commendable.
Although her biggest motivation during this period came from whether the community hospital could be upgraded and whether she herself could become the director of a first-level hospital, at least she did not violate any rules in her work. Apart from power, she did not seek personal gain, nor did she let down her patients, and she was very supportive of Yun Heng.
Everyone is selfish. Some people will harm the interests of others for their selfishness, but some people can benefit them for their selfishness. Qi Yaping is undoubtedly the latter. At least she used legitimate means.
"Well, I'll take care of the Chinese medicinal materials."
Yun Heng responded.
There were some things Yun Heng originally didn't want to say, but he felt that if he didn't say anything, Qi Yaping would really think he was a fool. He didn't mind Qi Yaping using him as a gun occasionally. After all, the upgrade of the community hospital was also a task issued by the panel. He and Qi Yaping had the same goal, and Qi Yaping was really good to him. She also gave him a platform. If he didn't have the autonomy in the West Asia Community Hospital, he would not be valued by Qu Tongwen.
