A kind of mouth is 80,000 yuan: Why is medical consumables so expensive?
"At present, the most expensive dental implant in the hospital is 80,000 yuan. It is equivalent to a BMW car. What is the concept? We are now paying more for medical consumables, so we must call for accelerating the industrialization of medical devices. On the morning of March 4th, at the group discussion meeting of the Medical and Health Group 45 of the Fifth Session of the 12th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Zhou Xuedong, the chief physician of the West China College of Stomatology, brought the discussion to a climax.
The kind of teeth is so expensive, the profits must be very considerable, but why is there no domestic enterprise special research and development, harvesting rich benefits? Macroscopically, medical consumables need to carry out supply-side reforms, innovate and produce high-end products according to market demand, not only meet the needs of domestic consumers, but also become the leader in the industry and get rich returns. But the strange thing is that domestic companies are almost always in the status quo, do not think ahead, can not produce high-end products with independent intellectual property rights, a large profit of a dental implant is taken away by others, and they can only get very small Part of the profit, the status is still relatively low.
In fact, this is a common phenomenon. There are many domestic enterprises, including state-owned and private enterprises. There are usually two main modes of operation: one is to engage in order-based production, that is, to process parts for foreign knowledge brands, share a little profit, and the order is good, then the enterprise benefits, and vice versa. It is established; the other is to imitate and create "cottage products", which are similar in shape and cannot be the dominant players in the market. They are also faced with the risk of being prosecuted by others and ruining the reputation of Chinese manufacturing.
So where is the root of the problem?
The author believes that there are three main factors: one lacks risk awareness, and the company knows that R&D products have large investment, long cycle, and high risks. At the same time, domestic research and technology and talents are not satisfactory, which intensifies the risk of developing high-end products. Enterprises have been through and have been unwilling to invest in high-end product development. Second, the small rich is safe, some business leaders have no ambition, satisfied with the status quo, do not want to take risks, however, the more afraid of taking risks, the opposite risk will be greater, because others are progressing, but they stop, slowly It was left behind and eventually eliminated by the market. The three support is not enough, or it is not forceful, unlawful, lack of attraction, or support resources are monopolized, and the support for the disguised profit, the lack of support, the powerlessness, can only make small noises and delays. Why many enterprises have closed down after the economic crisis, because there is no strong brand with independent intellectual property rights, and the strength of the enterprise is not enough, the capital chain is broken, the products are eliminated, and they have to close their doors.
