ABSTRACT
Objective:
To analyze losses and gains (L&G) of basic medical institutions induced by the Essen-tial Medicines Policy.Methods:
Choosing some poverty-stricken county in western China as sample area to conduct field research,using 2009 as baseline year,to calculate L&G and L&G ratio of basic medical institutions caused by adjustments of drug policy,medical services prices, and government subsidies from 2009—2015.Results:
Medical facilities have gained after the implementation of the Essential Medicines Policy as a whole. Gains were on an upward trend from 2009—2015,and L&G ratio increased from -2.15% in 2009 to 47.70% in 2015. For medical facilities at different levels, their gains attributed to different causes. Gains for medical facilities at village and town levels mainly attributed to government subsidies;gains for medical facilities at county level mainly attributed to adjustment of medical services prices.Conclusions:
Implementation of the Essential Medicines Policy has helped adjust composi-tion of losses and gains of medical facilities. Moving forward,functions and development of medical facilities should be strengthened with a focus on adjusting medical services prices for medical facilities at town level.
