Since 2022, the State Food and Drug Administration has repeatedly notified the drug inspections across the count.

Who is the stumbling block for qualified Chinese medicine?

There are 141 unqualified Chinese medicines, including 107 Chinese herbal pieces, 30 proprietary Chinese medicines, and 4 prepared by hospita.

By reviewing the situation of national drug sampling inspection of Chinese herbal medicine pieces since 2019, the pass rate of Chinese medicine pieces has shown a trend of increasing year by year, and the unqualified rate has dropped from 0% in 2019 to 6% in 2021, especially in 202 dr.

From the national drug sampling inspection annual reports over the years, we can find out the reason for the fundamental change in the qualification rate of Chinese herbal medicin.

The battle against greed is a constant battle

In the annual reports of national drug sampling inspections over the years, it is clearly pointed out that adulteration and adulteration are one of the main problems of unqualified Chinese medicine piec.

It is worth noting that in the notification of unqualified drugs in 2022, there are a number of remarks showing that the company's sample inspection meets the requirements, the re-inspection is unqualified, and the manufacturer's verification reply is not its production, e.

Improving industry standards can not be ignored

Although Chinese medicine has experienced thousands of years of development in history, the construction of industry regulations and standards that restrict its development is relatively lagging behi.

It was not until 2016 that China promulgated the "Traditional Chinese Medicine Law", and it was the first time that the important status, development policy and support measures of traditional Chinese medicine were clarified from the legal lev.

It is worth mentioning that the "14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine" issued by the state in March 2022 raised the layout level of traditional Chinese medicinal materials from protection and sustainable development to quality improveme.

It is no longer limited to strengthening the protection and utilization of traditional Chinese medicine resources and strengthening the construction of authentic medicinal material breeding bases and standardized planting and breeding bas.

In the future, with the introduction and implementation of a series of policies and standards, we will have more "weapons" in the battle of greed in the field of traditional Chinese medici.

Professional work needs professional people

Whether it is the identification of true and false Chinese herbal medicines, or the processing of Chinese herbal decoction pieces, it is not something that ordinary people can do, and professional things need to be done by professional peop.

In July 2020, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security issued the "Notice on Doing a Good Job in the Relevant Work on the Job Qualifications of Skilled Personnel with Level Evaluation", and two Chinese medicine processing workers and pharmaceutical preparation workers related to traditional Chinese medicine were list.

However, traditional Chinese medicine processing workers and pharmaceutical preparation workers have just been promulgated and implemented in April 2019, and before that, many professional qualifications such as traditional Chinese medicine purchase and sales, traditional Chinese medicine dispensing, traditional Chinese medicine planting, and traditional Chinese medicine solid preparation workers have been cancelled, but the "National Vocational Qualification Catalogue ( 2021 edition)” does not have any professional qualifications related to traditional Chinese medicine, which fully shows that China’s construction of professional and professional skills in the field of traditional Chinese medicine is somewhat lagging behi.

       According to the reform idea of ​​canceling the professional qualifications of skilled personnel in the level evaluation category and implementing socialized professional skill level identification, professional qualifications have been changed from government certification to socialized level identification, which can be recognized and tested by the market and society, and better strengthen skilled talen.

Team building, this is unquestionab.

       However, the author believes that professional qualifications in the fields of traditional Chinese medicine cannot be simply converted into socialized grade recogniti.

The quality of drugs is directly related to personal heal.

A new professional qualification system should be established in combination with the quality of traditional Chinese medicine materials, preparations, and processi.

And implement the access system to let professionals go to professional fields to do professional things, which is not contradictory to the requirements of the reform of the professional qualifications for level evaluation skilled personnel to withdraw from the catalog.

       Only in this way, in the battle of greed in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, can there be stronger "fighters" to realize the "good medicine, good medicine, good medicine" of Chinese medici.

       Summarize

       Finally, to sum up, in fact, in the announcements of unqualified medicines over the years, Chinese herbal medicines and Chinese medicines are undoubtedly the hardest hit are.

This is absolutely obvious to a.

Even if there are various uncontrollable factors in medicinal materials, but with the With the overall requirements of the pharmaceutical industry rising, there are thousands of reasons for failure to fundamentally change the final resu.

Although the road is difficult, we can still go all o.

We look forward to the future of the Chinese medicine industry to have a new lo.
