It has been learned from the Ningbo Health Bureau yesterday that the second centralized procurement of medical supplies, including 254 products in the fields of analgesics, artificial intraocular lenses , otolaryngology haemostasia materials, disposable endoscopy biopsy forceps and disposable oxygen suction device, has been finished. Prices of these products fall by as high as 32.5%, benefiting patients a lot. 
Among the 254 products from 50 suppliers, 128 products, 50.4% of the total, are domestic and 126 ones, 49.6% of the total, are imported. The domestic disposable endotracheal tube, purchased at 8 yuan, 24 yuan less than the lowest price in Zhejiang province, witnesses a decrease of 75%. The biggest price fall, 52.4%, of imported products goes to calcium lime, 50 yuan per kilo, 55 yuan less than the lowest price in Zhejiang province.
What benefits can the price fall bring to residents?

The profit the hospital could get from the supplies, however, was 3.97 million, with the benefit rate being only 2%. The profit has been largely taken by the production and circulation process. Last year, 30% of medical expenses of nearly 50,000 patients discharged from the hospital was for medical supplies.
