For the establishment of a unified platform, the National Medical Insurance Bureau has repeatedly clarified the progress and requirements

In November 2020, the National Medical Security Administration pointed out in the "Reply to Recommendation No.

What are the functions of the national platform? What impact will it have on the centralized procurement of consumables? According to people familiar with the matter, the national platform is not intended to replace the existing provincial-level bidding platforms, but to form a structured and branched bidding system.
The National Bureau can monitor and pre-warn the purchase amount, quantity, frequency and other behaviors
