The general hospital dominates the pharmaceutical market of public hospitals in a county.The county general hospital is better than local hospital of traditional Chinese medicine and township hospitals in drug inventory management,but it also has the longest payment term of drug. The component ratio of the drug income in primary medical institutions is the highest of all the county public hospitals. The drug income of primary medical institutions has shrunk due to the implementation of national basic medicine system. As a result,the growth rate of pharmaceutical market in county public hospitals declined in 2010. It is estimated that the pharmaceutical market is 160 billion yuan in county hospitals in 2010. <<
