在‘迎接21世纪挑战——中国质量战略高层研讨会’上,朱镕基副总理对药品回扣公开表明反对态度。他说:‘买药品拿回扣,给哪个医院回扣多,哪个医院就要他的货,甚至假药也买。对这个回扣,我始终采取不赞成态度。有人主张把回扣公开化,我看不能。这个回扣就是入个人腰包嘛,是贪污受贿嘛,一点好处都没有啊！如果回扣给公家,那不叫回扣,那叫招标,准的价格低就买谁的嘛！回扣怎么能合法化呢?回扣换来的是影响人民的身体健康,非打击不可。’ At the “Meeting the Challenges of the 21st Century - China Quality Strategy High-level Seminar,” Vice Premier Zhu Rongji publicly expressed his opposition to drug rebates. He said: ’Buy medicine rebate, to which hospital rebates and more, which hospital will want his goods, and even counterfeit drugs to buy. I always take a disapproval of this kickback. Some people advocate the open rebate, I can not see. This rebate is a personal pockets thing, corruption and bribery thing, no good! If the rebate to the public, it is not called a rebate, which is called the tender, the price of the prospective who buy it! How can a rebate be legalized? The rebate change affects the health of the people and is not dealt a blow. ’
