       It is understood that the Drug Supervision Department of the State Food and Drug Administration has recently held a special inspection work conference on drug distribution and use
    .

    The meeting requested that in 2022, the supervision of drug operation should focus on 6 tasks, including "strict investigation and severe punishment, and comprehensive implementation of special inspection requirements for operation and use"
    .

    In addition, many provinces across the country have also successively released the 2022 drug business inspection work plan
    .

    Under this background, the pharmacy industry can gain long-term competitiveness only by standardizing its operation and developing towards informatization and specialization
