“我很喜欢四川,2年的时间我来成都不下20次。默沙东的企业社会责任在四川有着源远流长的历史,怎么样让需要的患者用上高质量的基础医疗产品,这是我们需要做的。”
默沙东中国总裁冯纳玺
在服务全球医疗行业近20年之后,2009年冯纳玺先生带着丰富而扎实的业界知识与经验来到中国,领导全球第二大药企默沙东,在中国创造新的制高点。
冯纳玺来中国的两年时间中,正好是中国医改落地推进的时刻。他率领的企业不仅积极参与到中国医疗改革之中,而且其每一次举措,都参与推动中国的医疗改革不断向前。他主动将心血管产品“舒降之”减价52%,让此产品进入国家基本药物目录,希望能够惠及更多地区、包括偏远山区的人们,让更多的患者用上高质量的药品。冯纳玺说,把高品质的药品带到中国的每个地方,这是默沙东的使命,也是企业的社会责任。
借此次默沙东志愿者到都江堰向峨小学奉献爱心的机会,记者面对面认识了一个独具领导力和非凡视野的默沙东中国总裁。
社会责任遍及四川
记者:此次芝麻街工作室、中国青少年发展基金会与默沙东中国三方代表,以及默沙东志愿者,将100套儿童应急知识教育材料送到了四川嘉陵小学和向峨小学师生们的手中,看得出孩子们都很高兴。除了这次活动,默沙东在四川还有哪些公益性项目,成效如何?
冯纳玺:作为默沙东人,尤其是作为在中国的一个企业公民,我们在四川地区一直有持续不断的投资和公益项目。其中最大的一个是中国-默沙东艾滋病合作项目。这是一个集预防、治疗、关怀、支持为一体的艾滋病综合防治合作项目,为期5年,默沙东公司为此投入了3050万美金,共有300多个员工参与到这项工作中。
在中国政府、尤其是卫生部以及当地政府的帮助下,该项目首先在四川省凉山彝族自治州的3个县启动,至2009年已扩展至四川省20个地州,共计62个项目点,为1400万人提供了帮助,直接受益人口达到600万。
中国-默沙东项目是中国迄今为止最大的政府与国外私营企业合作的艾滋病综合防治项目,也是中国政府探索政府与非政府机构之间、公共和私人企业之间进行合作,共同抗击艾滋病的一个重要举措。我们的目的是支持中国政府通过国际合作,更好地开展艾滋病防治作,并探索建立一个综合、有实效、可评估和可推广的艾滋病防治模式。根据进展情况和所获得的经验,依照项目目标和中国政府的防治重点,经双方同意后还会向中国其他地区推广。
记者:默沙东为什么要如此关注四川省,并选择四川作为公益项目的重要实施地?今年在四川还有哪些重要项目?
冯纳玺:我们在四川的企业社会责任实践有着源远流长的历史。四川是一个人口众多的大省,慢性病病患也相对偏多,分布在各个区域。我们希望和政府一起去了解这些慢性病在四川各个区域的分布以及发病的情况。这样的话,大众可以得到更好的治疗,政府也可以减少投入。
除了中国-默沙东艾滋病防治项目,2010年5月,我们和四川省卫生厅签署了另外一项合作协议,在南充市共同启动了关于高血压、血脂异常以及Ⅱ型糖尿病的流行病学基线调查,目标是推动当地乃至四川全省中老年人心脑血管疾病的防治。这是默沙东“社区综合管理项目”的第一步,是政府与企业合作,建立自上而下、深入基层的慢性病预防和管理体系的一次有益探索。这个项目也是国内首个心血管疾病风险因素的综合管理项目。
说到企业社会责任的实践,我们并不仅仅在四川一个地区,默沙东在全国各地都有实践项目。
记者:默沙东有一句话叫做“健康是福”,这句话很深刻地反映了企业文化。这句话是如何融入到企业公益活动和企业经营中的?
冯纳玺:如果您有机会参观我们办公室,会在门口看到一句醒目的话:“我们应当永远铭记,药物是为人类而生产,不是为追求利润而制造的。只要我们坚守这一信念,利润必将随之而来。仅仅发明了一种新药,并非已经大功告成,我们还要探索有效途径,使默沙东的最佳科研成果能够造福全人类。”这是默沙东创始人乔治·默克的话,我们每一位默沙东人铭记于心。
企业利润与公益性在“健康是福”的企业文化中如何体现?我想,一个是通过默沙东的科研,开发患者需要的药品;另一方面,把我们的药品带给世界各地需要帮助的人,特别是要努力把我们的优质产品带给边远地区的患者,提高药品的可及性。这样才能帮助整个社会的进步。
第一个布局全国的跨国药企
记者:未来三年默沙东的未来战略布局如何,会在四川和成都进行什么样的投资?
冯纳玺:对我们来说,首要一点是支持一个国家政府为大众制定的福祉计划。在中国,默沙东会全力支持医改。我们不仅要将我们的药品和服务带到上海、北京、广州这样的大城市,更需要让内陆城市,像四川、西北、东北这些地区的患者获得药品。所以默沙东承诺,默沙东会持续不断地把新产品、新的治疗方案,包括新的疫苗带到中国,带给那些亟待解决的疾病治疗领域。
说到未来三年战略布局,默沙东将继续深耕中国市场。拓展新的业务能力主要有三种渠道,一是加强自身业务,一是寻找战略合作伙伴,还有一种是并购。
与很多企业以自我为中心不同,默沙东强调以病患为中心的企业文化。基于中国东西部发展尚不平衡的现状,我们根据中国各个地区的城市集群建立了十个大区,分别设立区域总经理负责制,我们的西南区总部就是以成都为中心。应该说,默沙东是第一个布局全国的跨国药企。
全力支持中国医改
记者:近两年中国政府在大力进行一些医疗改革的措施,缓解百姓看病难、看病贵的问题。作为国际药企,默沙东是如何对待此次医改的?
冯纳玺:中国政府的医改史无前例!因为它要建立一个全面覆盖的医疗健康保障体系,这在全球其他国家都是没有的,非常值得称赞。据我的理解,发展中国家的医改通常是建立初期的医疗体系,而中国已经开始建立基本覆盖全国的医疗体制,尤其是建立国家基本药物制度。这轮医改的目的就是要解决药品的可及性、提高医保的全民覆盖面,以及缩小东、西部医疗环境的差异。
所以,如何帮助中国政府建立一个基础护理的层面,也就是我们说的社区诊疗体系;怎样把我们的新产品、新疫苗带到中国市场,为更多需要的患者服务;同时,怎么样让需要的患者使用上我们的产品,这是我们应当帮助政府一起去努力的。我们会与中国政府一起携手合作,全力支持政府基本药物制度的改革和建立,把医改推行到各个省市州县。
记者:默沙东药品不仅仅要带到发达的东部沿海地区,更要深入到贫困地区去。如何惠及更多中西部地区尤其是贫困地区的老百姓,默沙东有什么样的措施?
冯纳玺:中国东西部差异很大,但中国政府已经在致力于改善西部的医疗水平。中国政府有强大的执行力,基本药物制度是医改关键的一步,它在不久的将来就能给患者带来实实在在的好处,在解决老百姓“看病难、看病贵”的过程中发挥重要作用。
国家基本药物制度是医疗改革的重要举措,默沙东对此全力支持。在有关市场零售指导价格的文件公布后,默沙东积极响应政府号召,主动把我们一款治疗心血管疾病的药物舒降之(辛伐他汀)降价52%,这是首个降价进入国家基本药物目录的外资原研药。虽然我们的利润下降了,但更多的医疗机构、尤其是在初级社区卫生中心就诊的患者也能用上高质量的原研药。
说到怎样惠及更多的病患,早在20年前,默沙东中国已经开始努力,那就是向中国转让乙肝疫苗技术。当时中国乙肝发病情况非常严重,根据卫生部公布的数据,上世纪80年代末,中国乙肝表面抗原携带者约有1.2亿人,也就是说,每10个中国人中就有一个是乙肝病毒携带者。当时每年出生的2000万新生儿中,近十分之一的婴儿受到乙肝病毒的感染。默沙东在1989年与中国政府达成技术转让许可协议,向中国提供当时世界上最先进的基因工程乙肝疫苗生产技术,时至今日,这些技术和设备仍在高效运作,造福中国人民。
现在,每个孩子一出生就可以接受免费的乙肝疫苗接种。中国疾病预防控制中心2006年数据显示,中国人群乙肝表面抗原携带率已经降至7.18%,大大低于1992年的9.75%。5岁以下儿童的乙肝表面抗原携带率更大幅下降,降至0.96%。

By the Merck volunteers dedicated to the primary school in Dujiangyan Xiang'e love the opportunity, the reporter met face to face with a unique vision and extraordinary leadership of Chinese President Merck.
Social responsibility throughout the Sichuan
Reporter: The Sesame Workshop, the China Youth Development Foundation and China, three representatives of Merck, and Merck volunteers, emergency response knowledge will be 100 sets of educational materials to children in Sichuan Jialing primary and primary school teachers and students Xiang'e hands, I can see the children very happy. In addition to this activity, Merck Sharp & Dohme in Sichuan, are there any public projects, how effective?
Feng Xi satisfied: as Merck Sharp & Dohme, especially as a corporate citizen in China, we have been in the Sichuan region continued investment and public projects. One of the biggest in China - Merck AIDS cooperation projects. This is a set of prevention, treatment, care and support for the integration of AIDS prevention and control cooperation project for a period of 5 years, Merck has invested 30.5 million dollars for this, a total of more than 300 employees involved in this work.
The Chinese government, especially the Ministry of Health and the help of the local government, the project first in the Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture of Sichuan Province's three counties, to 2009 has been expanded to 20 prefectures in Sichuan Province, a total of 62 project sites, as 1400 people have helped, directly benefiting the population reached 600 million.
China - Merck project is the largest to date of cooperation between the Government and foreign private sector AIDS prevention and control projects, but also to explore the Chinese government between government and non-governmental organizations, public and private enterprises to cooperate in a common fight against AIDS important step. Our aim is to support the Chinese Government, through international cooperation, better prevention and treatment for AIDS and to explore the establishment of a comprehensive, effective and can be extended to assess the AIDS model. According to the progress and experience gained, in accordance with project objectives and focus of the Chinese government's control, by mutual consent of the other parts of China will be the promotion.
Reporter: Merck why so much attention in Sichuan Province, Sichuan Province as a public service project and select the important implementation of the land? In Sichuan this year, what are the important items?
Feng Xi satisfied: We practice of corporate social responsibility in Sichuan has a long history. Sichuan is a populous province in patients with chronic diseases is relatively high side, distributed in various regions. We hope and with the Government to understand these chronic diseases, the distribution of various regions of Sichuan and the disease situation. In this case, the public can get better treatment, the Government can reduce the input.
In addition to China - Merck AIDS Project, May 2010, we and the Sichuan Provincial Health Department has signed another cooperation agreement, jointly launched in Nanchong City, on hypertension, dyslipidemia and diabetes mellitus epidemiological baseline Ⅱ investigation, the goal is to promote local and even the elderly in Sichuan province cardiovascular disease prevention. This is the Merck "Community Integrated Management Project," the first step, the government and corporate cooperation, the establishment from top to bottom, the grass roots of the chronic disease prevention and management system a useful exploration. This project is also China's first comprehensive cardiovascular disease risk factors in management of projects.
Speaking of the practice of corporate social responsibility, we are not just a region in Sichuan, Merck has practical projects throughout the country.

Feng Xi is satisfied: If you have the opportunity to visit our office, will see an eye-catching at the door: "We should always bear in mind that drugs are produced for human beings, not for profit and manufacturing. As long as we adhere to this belief, the profit will follow. just invented a new drug, not been done, we need to explore effective ways to bring the best scientific research to Merck the benefit of all. "This is the founder, George Merck of Merck, then , for every person at heart Merck.
Corporate profits and public welfare in the "health is a blessing," the corporate culture, how to embody? I think that one through Merck's research and development of medicines patients need; the other hand, to bring drugs to our people in need around the world, in particular, should strive to bring our quality products to patients in remote areas to improve the accessibility of drugs. In order to help the society progress.
The first layout of the multinational pharmaceutical companies nationwide
Reporter: Merck's future strategy for the next three years on how the layout will be in Chengdu, Sichuan, and what kind of investment?
Feng Xi is satisfied: For us, the first thing is to support the development of a national government for the public welfare programs. In China, the MSD will fully support the health care reform. We not only want our medicines and services to Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou cities like, but need to inland cities, such as Sichuan, northwest, northeast access to medicines for patients in these areas. So Merck commitment, Merck would continue to put new products and new treatment options, including new vaccines to China and bring those who solved the disease therapeutic areas.
Speaking of the strategic layout of the next three years, Merck will continue to establish itself in China market. Ability to develop new business there are three channels for the enhancement of its business, first, find strategic partners, there is a mergers and acquisitions.
With many different self-centered enterprises, Merck emphasis on patient-centric corporate culture. Based on the development of eastern and western China is still unbalanced situation, we all parts of the city according to China established ten regional clusters, namely the establishment of regional general manager responsibility system, and our headquarters is in Chengdu, Southwest China-centric. Should be said that Merck was the first layout of the multinational pharmaceutical companies nationwide.
Fully supports China's medical reform
Reporter: In recent years the Chinese government to vigorously carry out some health care reform measures to ease the people medical treatment is difficult and expensive problems. As an international pharmaceutical companies, Merck is how to deal with the health reform?
Feng Xi satisfied: the unprecedented medical reform the Chinese government! Because it wants to build a comprehensive coverage of medical and health security system, which are not other countries in the world, very commendable. As far as I understand it, health care reform in developing countries often establish the initial health care system, while China has begun to establish a basic healthcare system covering the whole country, especially the establishment of national essential drug system. The purpose of this round of health reform is to solve the drug access, universal health insurance coverage increased, and the narrow eastern and western medical environment differences.
So, how to help the Chinese government to establish a primary care level, that is, we say that the community clinic system; how our new products, new vaccines to the Chinese market, as more services were needed; the same time, how to need patient use of our products, which we should go to efforts to help the Government. We will work together with the Chinese government, fully support the essential drug system reform and the establishment of the health reform implementation in all provinces and cities to counties.
Reporter: Merck medicines not only to bring the developed eastern coastal areas, but also to go deep into the poor areas. How to benefit more poor areas in central and western regions, especially the people, what kind of measures Merck?
Feng Xi satisfied: East and West China vary widely, but the Chinese government has committed to improving the health level of the western. The Chinese government has a strong executive power, essential drugs system is a key step in health reform, which in the near future can bring real benefits to patients, in addressing the common people, "a doctor is difficult and expensive" and play an important effect.
National essential drug system is an important measure for health care reform, Merck full support. Retail prices in the market, the paper published, Merck positive response to the call, we take the initiative to a drug treatment of cardiovascular disease, Zocor (simvastatin) 52% price reduction, this is the first to enter the state's basic price Drugs List of foreign original study medicine. Although profit fell, but more medical institutions, especially community health centers in the primary treatment of patients can also use high-quality original research on the drug.
Speaking of how to benefit more patients, as early as 20 years ago, Merck has already begun efforts in China, that is, hepatitis B vaccine technology transfer to China. At that time the incidence of hepatitis B in China is very serious, according to data released by the Ministry of Health, the late 80s, hepatitis B surface antigen carriers in China about 120 million people, that is, every 10 Chinese will be a hepatitis B virus carrier persons. At that time the 20 million infants born each year, nearly one tenth of the babies infected by the hepatitis B virus. Merck Sharp & Dohme in 1989 with the Chinese government to reach technology licensing agreement to provide China with the world's most advanced genetically engineered hepatitis B vaccine production technology, to date, these technologies are still highly efficient operation and equipment, to benefit the Chinese people.
Now, every child at birth can receive free hepatitis B vaccination. Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention data show that in 2006, the Chinese population carry hepatitis B surface antigen rates have dropped to 7.18%, well below 9.75% in 1992. Children under 5 years of hepatitis B surface antigen carrier rate dropped more sharply, down 0.96%.
