Abstract

The centralized procurement policy has significantly reduced drug prices through an open and transparent bidding mechanism, and enhanced the cost-effectiveness of drugs. As an important component of the centralized procurement policy, China has been encouraging the substitution of generic drugs for originator drugs in recent years to lower medical costs and has increased investment in the cost of generic drugs. However, the promotion of generic drugs still needs to overcome multiple challenges such as doctors' trust and patients' acceptance. Overall, the centralized procurement policy has achieved remarkable results in reducing drug costs, optimizing supply security, and promoting the development of generic drugs. However, it is also necessary to ensure the sustainability of the policy and the diversity of drug treatments. In the future, the deepening development of the centralized procurement policy will further promote the high-quality development of the generic drug industry. This article reviews different drug procurement models at home and abroad, the development process of the domestic centralized procurement policy, the impact of the centralized procurement policy on drug use and the challenges it faces, as well as the research on generic drug products under the centralized procurement policy, and discusses the future development direction of generic drugs.
