SHANGHAI, June 23 (Xinhua) -- Medicines selected through the current round of the Chinese government's new centralized drug-procurement program will be 56 percent cheaper than normal, on average, for those public health facilities that purchase them, according to the National Healthcare Security Administration.

The fifth round of the centralized drug-procurement program, which took place in Shanghai on Wednesday, saw 201 companies bidding to provide medicines to public health facilities, including hospitals. Of those companies making bids, 148 were successful on Wednesday, with 251 products being qualified.
