"I really didn't expect that now we can not only use such expensive anti-cancer drugs, but also buy them at home. It's really a blessing for our new special medicine patients!" said Li Moumou, a patient in Mingyue Town, Antu County.

Special medical insurance drugs mainly refer to drugs that are clinically necessary, have accurate efficacy, expensive to treat major diseases, and are included in the scope of medical insurance fund payment by the state through negotiation mechanisms.

In order to effectively meet the medication needs of special medicine patients and reduce their sufferings of traveling on the road, the county people's hospital actively strives for relevant departments and strives to promote the early implementation of special medicine hospitals in Antu County. In November 2021, Antu County People's Hospital became a designated medical institution for special medicines in Yanbian Prefecture. The hospital can approve 22 special drugs, including the corresponding "tinib" and "monoantib" drugs used in patients with lung cancer, breast cancer, and colon cancer, and the "tumor necrosis factor-binding protein" drugs used in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and severe psoriasis. Patients only need to bring their ID card, medical insurance card, laboratory test report, genetic test report and other clinical information, and go to the corresponding department to find a special pharmacist for review and processing, and can be reimbursed directly in the hospital, truly bringing convenience to people with special drug needs.

It is understood that there are more than a hundred people in Antu County with special drug demand.
