Price of traditional Chinese medicine rises

"It's the misunderstanding of relevant media interviewers about my speech at the meeting The research is being actively prepared, but there is no definite price adjustment for traditional Chinese medicine based drugs." Recently, Wang Guihua, Secretary General of China Association of traditional Chinese medicine, repeatedly stressed to the interviewers on the phone Recently, Wang Guihua's speech quoted by the mass media revealed that the price of raw materials in the traditional Chinese medicine industry continued to rise and the price of preparations continued to fall, which has attracted the attention of the national development and Reform Commission The national survey on the price supply of Chinese herbal medicines will be launched in the near future After the survey, the prices of 102 kinds of Chinese patent medicines will be adjusted However, in an interview with the interviewers, Wang Guihua repeatedly pointed out that in view of the continuous rise in the price of traditional Chinese medicine and the recent public opinion on the relationship between the price of traditional Chinese medicine based medicine and the cost and quality, including the State Administration of traditional Chinese medicine, the national development and Reform Commission, the Chinese Medicine Association and other government departments and industry organizations related to traditional Chinese medicine are paying great attention The Pharmaceutical Association, on behalf of the whole industry, also expects the government to organize relevant surveys as soon as possible, and formulate a scientific pricing mechanism based on the actual survey results, including the price mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine linked with the economic trend and the price of ordinary commodities On the basis of investigation, Wang Guihua pointed out that there may be two results in theory: first, through investigation, it is found that there is no need to adjust the price policy, and the government can suppress the abnormal fluctuation of the price rise of traditional Chinese medicine through appropriate price intervention measures and means, which does not need to adjust the price policy; second, the investigation results show that there are deep-seated traditional Chinese medicine The problem of material price needs to be adjusted and solved through policies, and the current intervention measures cannot be suppressed, so it is necessary to consider price readjustment According to various factors, the reasons for the price increase of traditional Chinese medicine are very complex, including the reduction of resources of traditional Chinese medicine, the rapid development of the pharmaceutical industry, the strong contradiction between supply and demand in the export of traditional Chinese medicine extracts over the years, as well as the overlapping effect of excessive old problems in the circulation of traditional Chinese medicine caused by the rise of commodity prices in the whole society and the hoarding of bad middlemen to drive up prices Because of the rapid economic development, the contradiction between the rapid rise of the rigid demand of people's health care and the limited resources is hard to resolve in a short time Wang Guihua said that traditional Chinese medicine is included in the management of agricultural and sideline products in China We can consider giving some preferential policies to traditional Chinese medicine with reference to agricultural and sideline products to reduce the pressure of rising prices of traditional Chinese medicine In the near future, the Chinese Medicine Association is also actively organizing industry discussion and exchange, proposing the drug reserve system, the state subsidy system, etc According to Guo Fanli, the most important thing to solve the problem is to control the price of traditional Chinese medicine at a reasonable level and prevent the price surge caused by the speculation of hot money at any time In this respect, the most effective solution is to improve the management, supervision and regulation of Chinese herbal medicines, and make necessary reserves of Chinese herbal medicines.
