Chapter 670 A Tamiflu for $10

The epidemic is not waiting for anyone.

Since an expert consensus has been reached and the latest "Guidelines" has been launched, doctors from all over the world have also learned basic diagnosis and treatment, and then follow the guidelines, a new problem will arise next.

What about oseltamivir drugs?

Everyone at the scene looked at Chen Xia. After all, he was the leader of the medical team and the medicine was also brought by him.

Chen Xia felt a little happy, but on the surface he still smiled very warmly:

"Oseltamivir was invented by Xiangjiang Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical Company. The only production base is currently in Yuezhou, China. There are currently 25 production lines, and we work overtime to organize the production of drugs, but the quantity is...

Before Chen Xia finished speaking, the English officials jumped out first:

"Chen, you are the most honorable guests invited by our Ministry of Health in England. We in England need to book 10 million oseltamivir."

Politicians are very smart. When they realize that oseltamivir has a good magical effect on influenza, they are ready to take action immediately. Whoever grabs the medicine first, the sooner they invest in clinical treatment, the sooner they can win back their hearts.

People's hearts are all votes.

But the smart people are not the only English, and officials from the French Ministry of Health next to them also jumped out.

"No, respected Chinese doctors, the epidemic in France is more serious now. Countless people lose their lives every day because of the flu. We need oseltamivir even more. Please give priority to our France."

Officials from the Italian Ministry of Health have stopped doing it. Madness, the flu was the first to break out in their country. If you want to say it is serious, is it serious?

"Doctor Chen, don't listen to their nonsense. The most powerful thing in Europe is our Italian. Please give it to us first. You will definitely get our friendship."

Now, the officials of the Ministry of Health from more than 20 countries quarreled in the scene.

Even officials from the European Community Health Agency jumped out and said that the special medicines should be handed over to the community and then distributed.

Now everyone knows that people work overtime to produce, so there are only 25 production lines. How many can they produce?

Compared with tens of millions of flu patients in Europe and the United States, this is really a drop in the bucket.

Chen Xia also wanted to make a big profit, but there was no way. The flu was timely and might end in one or two months. It was impossible for him to fish slowly.

This is also the reason why he asked the Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical Factory to do its best to produce oseltamivir before leaving.

Officials of the Chinese Ministry of Health also remained silent. After all, they did not have the right to distribute drugs. Although they really wanted this right, this is a Hong Kong-funded enterprise and should pay attention to the impact of ZZ.

Chen Xia clapped his hands and signaled everyone to calm down:

"Everyone, I am just a member of the China Medical Group. I cannot represent Xiangjiang Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical Company, so you need medicine or patent authorization, so you should contact Ms. Chen Shuqin next to me."

Officials from all over the world cursed in their hearts, "You can't make decisions, why are you pretending to know everything just now?"

In fact, the aunt and nephew have already agreed that oseltamivir is a quick profit, so the price must not be low.

Now Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Factory has 25 production lines, and can only produce up to 4 million oseltamivir capsules and granules a day. It is far from enough to supply the two huge markets in Europe and the United States.

Therefore, emergency patent authorization is not impossible to consider, the key is still the money issue.

You should know that in his previous life, Switzerland Roche Pharmaceuticals held the patent for oseltamivir and did more excessively in the face of the epidemic.

When influenza and avian influenza broke out, Roche not only did not increase its production, but instead reduced the supply of "Daffie". Even at the strong demands of various countries, it insisted on refusing to provide patent authorization.

From a marketing perspective, this move is definitely successful, because Duffy's popularity is very popular for a while, and the price of Duffy's pill was quickly hyped up.

However, from the perspective of credibility, Roche failed because a company that has no responsibility and has made a fortune in the epidemic will deeply implant this bad image into the hearts of every consumer.

When consumers can choose other drugs, they will abandon them without hesitation. This is why Roche Pharmaceutical has never been able to become the world's top pharmaceutical company.

Chen Xia’s “Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical” needs to be a good conscience medicine. For a century-old pharmaceutical company, it is naturally necessary to establish a good corporate image and give people a good impression. Pumpkin Vine not only has good quality medicines, but the key is to have better reputation.

This is also an important reason why he asked Xu Rui to help advertise.

Of course, the pumpkin vine has already "sacrificed" so much, so there are so many patent fees, which is nothing wrong, right?

Chen Shuqin said to the surrounding officials of the Ministry of Health:

"At present, our company can only produce 4 million oseltamivir tablets a day. The research and development cost of this drug is very high. It has cost us $1 billion in research costs and production costs, so we priced at $10 per pill."

A pill costs $10, usually a course of treatment for 5 days, and 10 oseltamivir is required, which is $100.

Is $100 expensive? Of course it is expensive.

But compared to the income of Europeans and Americans, the 100 US dollar is only one-tenth of it, and it is completely affordable.

But don’t forget that European and American countries do not pay for medical treatment. This is completely different from a certain country. They either have national welfare guarantees or social insurance.

Therefore, the attitudes of medical insurance agencies and insurance companies in various countries on the scene are very important. Whether oseltamivir can be included in the emergency procurement catalog depends on the sales volume.

Several officials from the Health Insurance Bureau and the Insurance Company discussed fiercely here, but the discussion was relatively optimistic.

If you want to compare the medical expenses, what other rescue costs are? The surveillance costs have long been an astronomical figure. An old man and an old lady are lying in the ICU. The daily medical expenses really make them feel heartbroken.

Some media have even discussed whether these 80s and 90s are worth the sky-high help from these elderly people in their 80s and 90s?

When everyone was discussing the issue of drug distribution and reimbursement, Litao Wanren became depressed.

They were just scolding the Chinese doctor for being unreliable and the Chinese medicine for not working, but were immediately slapped in the face.

But in a small country, I understand what it means to cry, make a fuss and hang myself. What is the face at critical moments?

It is a big deal to grab the drug quickly, otherwise the voters wouldn't tear them up when they go back?

"etc!"

Officials from the Ministry of Health suddenly jumped up:

"Wait a minute, you big countries are too domineering. Should your people be rich and rich, and we small countries die? No, oseltamivir should be given priority to supply our country, and we require everyone to be equal."

The scene suddenly became quiet. Everyone saw Litao Wanren jumped up and down before, but now they regretted it?
Chapter completed!
