This is the right way to go

A prime measure in Beijing's medical reform is the abolition of drug price markups in public hospitals and raising the charges for services provided by medical staff. I think this reform is the right way to go.
Abolishing drug price markups will effectively prevent doctors from overprescribing drugs, and higher service charges will more closely reflect the true value of their work.
The reform may contribute to the establishment of a layered healthcare system, so there will be a better division of work between large hospitals and community medical institutes.
