The reporter learned from meituan on March 20 that since the outbreak of this round of epidemic, the order volume of Shanghai chronic disease drugs on meituan drug purchase app platform has been rising. From March 1, 2022 to March 20th, the order of slow drug consumption increased by nearly 50%, among which the order of hypertension drugs increased by 176%, the order of diabetes drugs increased by 143%, and the order of scarce drugs was larger than that before the epidemic.
In order to effectively alleviate the needs of patients with chronic diseases, meituan pharmaceutical recently launched the “chronic disease care plan” in Shanghai in conjunction with local chain pharmacies such as Shanghai No.1 Pharmacy Co.Ltd(600833) , Yifeng pharmacy, Guoda pharmacy and Lbx Pharmacy Chain Joint Stock Company(603883) pharmacy to ensure that patients with chronic diseases who need long-term medication do not lack drugs and stop taking drugs.
On the one hand, meituan buys drugs and actively communicates with Dalian lock pharmacies to ensure the supply of drugs or scarce drugs with user needs. On the other hand, in order to ensure the safe and rational use of drugs by residents, meituan also arranged online doctors and pharmacists for the people of Shanghai to help users who are inconvenient to go out to answer health problems.
It is understood that in the “chronic disease care plan”, meituan has arranged exclusive distribution for drug purchase. Users only need to open meituan app or meituan takeout app, click the “chronic disease care plan” in the drug purchase channel, or search the required drugs in the channel, and they can enjoy the service of delivering drugs home. It is more reassuring to buy drugs during the epidemic.
Shanghai No.1 Pharmacy Co.Ltd(600833) relevant person in charge said that during the epidemic period, all stores in Shanghai No.1 Pharmacy Co.Ltd(600833) normal business can purchase drugs through online channels such as meituan medicine, and all hospital side stores increase reserves for chronic disease drugs, scarce drugs and brand drugs. Meanwhile, in strict accordance with the requirements of national policies, all stores can purchase such drugs online only with prescriptions for patients with chronic diseases, so as to ensure the safety and compliance of the sales of prescription drugs in special periods.
