A pharmaceutical anti-corruption storm, with strong winds blowing.
On August 15th, the National Health Commission issued a Q&A on the centralized rectification of corruption in the national pharmaceutical industry. The phrase "focusing on 'key minority' and key positions" repeatedly appears in Q&A.
From the reported cases of corruption in the healthcare system in various regions, it can be seen that the "key minority" will be the focus of attention in healthcare anti-corruption in 2023. According to incomplete statistics from China News Network, as of August 17th, at least 184 hospital deans and secretaries have been investigated this year, especially since June, at least 10 hospital leaders have voluntarily surrendered.
The hospital where the Dean and Secretary of the Luo Ma Hospital are located involves 24 provinces across the country, with relatively more people falling off horses in Guangdong, Sichuan, Yunnan and other places. From the perspective of hospitals, there are over 50 directors and secretaries of tertiary hospitals, and some are experts who enjoy special allowances from the State Council.
