The release of procurement documents, material submission, bidding, and opening of bids were all completed online through the Henan Provincial Medical Procurement Platform, with a complete record and traceability, eliminating any human intervention, improving work efficiency, and truly achieving transparency, fairness, and justice. Second, adhering to the principle of "quantity for price" to ensure price authenticity 。 Giving full play to the scale advantages of provincial centralized procurement, organizing all public medical institutions in the province to participate in centralized procurement, and encouraging medical insurance-designated private medical institutions to participate. Enterprises independently quote prices based on the procurement volume, and the selected results are generated through fair competition. Third, adhering to scientific decision-making to ensure clinical needs. Widely soliciting opinions and suggestions from experts and manufacturers, fully considering clinical needs and product characteristics, scientifically determining product grouping, and formulating product selection rules. The mainstream varieties used in clinical practice by medical institutions in our province have all been selected, fully respecting clinical usage habits and meeting clinical needs.

After selection, mechanisms such as 50% advance payment of funds by the medical insurance fund and 30-day payment to medical institutions are used to explore direct settlement between the medical insurance fund and enterprises, reducing the transaction costs of enterprises and fundamentally eliminating the industry problem of kickbacks.
