Building a comprehensive bottom line for drug safety
2024-10-23
Drug safety is closely related to people's physical health and life safety, and cannot be taken lightly. It is necessary to continuously and repeatedly invite experts and scholars to interpret relevant regulations, promote regulatory policies to pharmaceutical companies, strengthen public knowledge of drug basics and drug safety, and carry out activities to clean up expired and discarded drugs in households... Recently, during the "National Drug Safety Promotion Week", various regions sent knowledge of safe drug use to the public through various forms, further enhancing the scientific literacy of public drug safety and making contributions to promoting national health. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized the need to effectively strengthen the supervision of food and drug safety. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China attaches great importance to the safety of medication for the people, and requires the establishment of a scientific and sound drug safety governance system with the strictest standards, supervision, punishment, and accountability. In recent years, the regulatory system for drug management in China has been continuously improved, drug supervision has been strengthened, and the nationwide action to consolidate and improve drug safety has been carried out in depth. The overall situation of drug safety has remained stable. It should also be noted that due to the rapid development of the pharmaceutical industry, the types and quantities of drugs have surged, the sales methods are complex and diverse, and the difficulty of market supervision continues to increase. Only by comprehensively strengthening the bottom line of drug safety can we ensure that the public can buy and use drugs with peace of mind, and promote the healthy and orderly development of the industry. Strengthen the full process supervision of drugs. The minimum unit outer packaging of 53 traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces does not indicate the place of origin or other relevant content; Purchasing and selling unapproved imported drugs without obtaining a drug business license... Recently, the National Medical Products Administration announced 8 cases of drug violations, and relevant information shows that the illegal and irregular behavior is even more concealed. We need to increase regulatory efforts, continuously purify the market environment, and ensure that every aspect complies with legal and regulatory requirements. Among these 8 cases, 4 are related to online sales, and drug online sales should become a regulatory focus. Intelligent scientific regulatory measures such as artificial intelligence and big data can be adopted to ensure that the source, destination, and responsibility of drugs can be traced, ensuring that online sales are not illegal. Strictly crack down on illegal and criminal activities. The newly revised Drug Administration Law has comprehensively increased the punishment for illegal activities, and those who commit crimes will be held criminally responsible in accordance with the law, maintaining a high-pressure situation towards drug safety crimes. The drug regulatory department should coordinate and link up with public security, health, medical insurance and other departments, improve the system of linking execution and joint punishment, and increase law enforcement and case handling efforts in order to make drug regulation "thorny" and form a deterrent. For drug safety violations and crimes, it is necessary to implement "punishment to individuals" for illegal activities, and implement industry bans and employment bans. Only by increasing the cost of illegal activities can practitioners have a sense of awe, strictly regulate their own behavior, and consciously abide by drug safety related laws and regulations. Doing a good job in popularizing safe medication and enabling the public to master scientific knowledge of medication is the key to building everyone's first line of defense for safe medication. Health education starts from a young age, such as the "Drug Safety Science Popularization Classroom for Primary and Secondary School Students" held in Hebei, which uses interactive games, in class quizzes, and Q&A to help students master drug safety knowledge. Medical institutions are the most concentrated places for the use of drugs, which can encourage medical staff and pharmacists to participate in the popularization of patient medication knowledge and improve patient medication compliance. The drug regulatory department can carry out various forms of science popularization activities, such as organizing lectures, posting posters, and holding drug safety knowledge competitions to promote drug safety knowledge. Drug safety is closely related to people's physical health and life safety, and cannot tolerate any carelessness. It must be long-term and repeatedly emphasized. All departments should work together and the whole society should work together to effectively eliminate drug safety hazards around the people and help build a healthy China. (New Society)
