The hospital explained that this is called the small package of Chinese herbal pieces Many people who have grasped Chinese herbal medicine should have the impression that in general, a dose of Chinese herbal medicine is a paper bag package However, Mr Fang, a citizen, grabbed a dose of traditional Chinese medicine in Kunming Hospital of traditional Chinese medicine yesterday, but found that 32 medicines were packed in plastic bags, one small bag and one small bag Mr Fang said: "is it a waste of so many plastic bags for medicine? Now we all advocate environmental protection and use less or no plastic bags " The hospital explained that the small package had several advantages with questions The reporter interviewed Kunming Hospital of traditional Chinese medicine by telephone "This is called small package of Chinese herbal pieces, which is stipulated by the State Administration of traditional Chinese medicine It has been implemented in Beijing, Shanghai and other places for many years, and there is such a requirement in the evaluation standard of the top three hospital," said Yu, chief of Pharmacy Department of the hospital According to him, there are some disadvantages in bulk Chinese herbal pieces, such as inaccurate weighing, uneven distribution, low efficiency, difficult rechecking, difficult maintenance, large waste, poor sanitation and so on In 2007, the State Administration of traditional Chinese medicine selected 19 hospitals of traditional Chinese medicine to promote the pilot small package of Chinese herbal pieces It uses an electronic scale with an accuracy of 0.1g It is accurately weighed according to the set dose and then packaged, including 1g, 2G, 5g, 10g, 15g, 20g and other small bags of different specifications The experimental results show that the small package of Chinese herbal pieces has the advantages of accurate dosage, easy recheck, high efficiency, less waste, pure pieces and favorable management, but the cost and price increase about 5% Yu said that generally speaking, the hospital has both bulk pieces and small package pieces for complementary use For thousands of years, people are used to bulk traditional Chinese medicine After the doctor prescribed the prescription, he took it to the traditional Chinese medicine shop The medical staff followed the prescription and distributed it evenly to several pieces of paper After wrapping, they carried it one by one Now it's changed to small packing The citizens agree and disagree Morning mother said: "this kind of drink is clean." People who share her views think that the Chinese Herbal Pieces in bags should be clean Unlike bulk Chinese herbal medicines, shaking the bags may shake out ashes Most of the people who opposed this kind of packing thought it was not environmental-friendly "They all used small packing They didn't know how many plastic bags to use that year." The interviewees are worried that a large number of plastic bags will cause white pollution when small packaging is used instead Ms Wang, a citizen, said: "anyway, when I go home, I have to open the medicine and boil it together Why pack it into small bags? It's troublesome and wasteful." Hou Mingming, a professor at Kunming University of science and technology, said that small packaging has the advantages of small packaging, but plastic bag pollution is also a problem It is suggested that the hospital should establish a recycling system to collect the bags used by the patients and return them to the manufacturer for reuse Some people also suggest whether other materials can be used for environmental protection.
