BEIJING, Feb. 14 (Xinhua) -- The State Council, or China's Cabinet, has worked out a five-year plan (2011-2015) to raise standards and improve quality in the medicinal sector1, including Western medicines, traditional Chinese medicine, and generic2 drug products.
Meanwhile, standards for medical equipment and
apparatuses3 will also be raised, according to the government plan issued amid public concerns and complaints about the quality of medicinal products in the country.
Efforts to raise standards and improve quality will be based on the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China, the country's official
compendium4 of drugs and
pharmaceutical5 drug
specifications6, it says.
According to the plan, the government will raise standards on 2,500 chemical drugs, 2,800 ready-made Chinese traditional drugs, 200 biological pharmaceutical products, as well as 350 kinds of Chinese medicinal herbs and 650 Chinese medicinal
components7 by 2015.
Furthermore, the government plans to reinforce local medicinal quality-monitoring networks at the municipal and county levels, while making greater efforts to crack down on
counterfeit8 pharmaceutical products.
By 2015, all chemical and biological drugs should meet or approach international standards, and China will play a guiding role in developing international standards for the production of traditional Chinese medicine.
In the meantime, 90 percent of medical equipment and apparatuses should meet international standards, and the production of
pharmaceutics9, equipment and apparatuses, as well as the operation of
pharmacies10 should meet relevant national standards published in 2010.
