     Drug use for chronic diseases is shifting to grassroots and retail channels
     In 2017, the scale of drug use in urban grassroots hospitals reached 95.1 billion yuan, with a year-on-year growth of 8.9% and a compound growth rate of 16.0%. It is expected to grow at a rate of 14.1% in 2018, and the scale of drug use will reach 108.5 billion yuan, with a compound growth of 10.2%. In 2017, the scale of drug use in rural grassroots hospitals reached 71.2 billion yuan, with a year-on-year growth of 3.8% and a compound growth rate of 7.2%. It is expected that the scale in 18 years will reach 75 billion yuan, with a growth rate of 5.4%.
     The growth of primary-level medical institutions is mainly due to the initial results of tiered diagnosis and treatment, while provinces have gradually lifted restrictions on the use of medicines at the grassroots level.
     From 2015 to 2017, the share of chronic drug use in grade hospitals gradually declined, while the scale and share of primary medical institutions and retail pharmacies kept rising, among which the growth rate of chronic drug use in retail pharmacies exceeded 10%.
