Prospects
The gradual implementation of the centralized drug procurement program in "4+7" cities and its associated effects are bringing a greater impact on the revenue and profit of the pharmaceutical industry. The National Healthcare Security Administration plans to start making adjustments to the National Drug Reimbursement List in the second half of the year, focusing more on the clinical efficacy and financial impact of medicines and placing particular emphasis on medicines for treating critical illnesses such as cancer and chronic diseases, pediatric medicines and drugs for emergency use. These adjustments represent a clear direction of national policies to support quality products with high value. The rollout of the abovementioned measures is set to change the product landscape of the pharmaceutical industry and at the same time accelerate differentiation of pharmaceutical enterprises. This will subsequently create greater room for development of enterprises like Sino Pharmaceutical boasting strong R&D, production and quality control capabilities.
