B2健康275 词约 2 分钟

A national bulk-buying program has dramatically reduced the price of coronary stents in China. These tiny mesh tubes are used to treat blocked heart arteries. Previously, a single stent could cost more than 10,000 yuan. Now, with centralized procurement, the price has fallen to around 700 yuan. This change has made life-saving treatment far more accessible.

The price cut has helped many patients who could not afford the device before. In the past, even when surgery was urgently needed, families often faced huge financial pressure. Some patients chose to delay or skip treatment due to the high cost. Now, lower prices mean that more people can receive stents without worrying about money.
