The level of drug prices is related to the vital interests of the people.

On November 11, 2021, at a special drug price negotiation meeting, an injection for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy was nearly 700,000 yuan per injection, which is a veritable "sky-high price drug".

However, with the efforts of negotiators from the National Medical Insurance Bureau, the injection was finally included in the new version of the medical insurance drug catalog at a price of 33,000 yuan per injection.

　　This is a microcosm of China's new medical reform.

Since the introduction of the new medical reform plan, my country's medical reform has emphasized "returning to public welfare", focusing on solving problems such as difficulty in seeing a doctor, expensive medical treatment, returning to poverty due to illness, and poverty due to illness. Successful cases such as the "Sanming Model" and the "Changting Model" have emerged in the basic medical and health system.

The formation of these medical reform models has allowed medicines to return to the function of treating diseases, and doctors to return to the role of seeing a doctor, fully demonstrating the values ​​​​of people first and health first.

　　"Everything is for people's health" has never been an empty phrase. In the past ten years, China's average life expectancy has increased to 78.2 years, basic pension insurance covers 1.04 billion people, and the number of people participating in basic medical insurance has reached 1.36 billion by the end of 2021, with a stable coverage rate. Above 95%.

　　The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that "to promote the construction of a healthy China, we should put the protection of people's health in the strategic position of priority development." People benefit, hospitals develop, and doctors are encouraged.

China's new medical reform has been on a correct and hopeful path.
