We must deepen both root and root causes and systemic governance, and promote the principle of not being afraid of corruption, not being able to corrupt and not wanting to corrupt. The communiqu é of the second plenary session of the 20th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection proposed that "resolutely investigate and deal with new and hidden corruption". Recently, the State Administration of Market Supervision reported five typical cases of special law enforcement actions against unfair competition, two of which were commercial bribery events in the form of scientific research sponsorship and payment rebates in the medical and health industry. The circular said that with the increasing efforts to investigate and deal with commercial bribery cases, some pharmaceutical enterprises took more covert and complex measures to put a "legal coat" on their bribery. For example, some enterprises transfer illegal interests in the name of sponsoring scientific research funds and academic conference fees; Some pay hospital staff rebates in the purchase and sale of medicine; Some extort funds for bribery by means of raising the price of drugs in the production link and false transactions in the circulation link. What are the new trends of the invisible variation of the problem of wind corruption in the medical industry? How can we find clues to problems and thoroughly investigate the transmission of hidden interests? The reporter conducted an interview. Meet with the drug dealer at a place without camera, use different numbers each time, and go without saying anything without getting off the car and collecting money... The hospital president who wears ordinary and drives second-hand cars on weekdays privately and freely accepts drug rebates. If it is not for a bribe giver to open the lid, it is hard for the cadres and staff of the People's Hospital of Huzhong District in the Greater Khingan Mountains Region of Heilongjiang Province to think that the president He Xianwei, who wears ordinary, drives second-hand cars and lives frugally on weekdays, How dare you accept drug rebates in a big way soon after taking office. In June 2014, He Xianwei, who served as president for more than half a year, took the initiative to contact He Mou, chairman of a pharmaceutical company in Heilongjiang Province. The two sides agreed to meet in a quiet alley. He Xianwei threatened with "no rebates and no drugs", and finally agreed to give him a rebate of 15% of the total amount of drugs purchased by Huzhong Hospital in the company from August of that year. He recalled something later: "I thought at that time that if I didn't promise him, it might not be possible to purchase from us. I agreed with a ruthless heart that if all the goods were purchased from us, 15 points would be OK. Later, He Xianwei added two conditions: first, it must be cash; second, it must be confidential, otherwise it would not be cooperative." After that, He Xianwei followed the same pattern and extended the hand of accepting the buyback to the other two pharmaceutical companies. According to the project team, in order to reduce the exposure risk, He Xianwei met with the drug dealers to discuss the rebate, and chose places without cameras; When receiving rebates, it is required to meet separately, use different numbers for each contact, and the transaction place is on the highway at the junction of the two districts; The transaction is fast and can be completed in tens of seconds. There is no verbal communication. You can leave without getting off the bus and collecting money; The rebates are all in cash and deposited in foreign banks through relatives. In 2019, with the improvement of the national drug procurement management system, the profit margin of drug suppliers became smaller after the "centralized purchase". After 15% rebate to He Xianwei, the drug dealers had little profit to say. He has always wanted to negotiate with He Xianwei to reduce the rebate ratio, but he never spoke when he met him, and left immediately after receiving the money
