Usually when people see traditional Chinese medicine, most of them choose medical insurance for settlement. The doctor prescribes the prescription, and the patient goes to the hospital or the pharmacy to get the medicine. As for the grade or price of the TCM decoction pieces in the prescription, there is no free choice.
Today, Hangzhou’s first traditional Chinese medicine refined standard pharmacy officially settled in Fanghuichuntang Hefang Street. Quality Chinese medicine services.
Medicine is not divided, there is no authentic medicinal materials, no matter how good the prescription is, the doctor can’t cure the disease and save the life. “There are many links in the process of planting, harvesting, processing, and transportation of Chinese herbal medicines. Problems in any link will affect the efficacy and safety of traditional Chinese medicine for disease prevention and treatment.” Guo Yibiao, vice president of Fang Huichuntang Group, told reporters, The purpose of opening the Jingbiao pharmacy is to allow people to eat more authentic and safer traditional Chinese medicine. Advocate the use of good medicine and less medicine, and promote the development of the entire Chinese medicine industry. “Precise standard decoction pieces from raw material procurement, production management, quality management, etc., the whole process of implementation and management can be traced. The imported Chinese medicine refined standard decoction pieces must be safe, effective, and of high standards. For example, the content of hesperidin in tangerine peel must meet the Chinese Pharmacopoeia and The double standard of the Japanese Pharmacopoeia fully complies with the Chinese Pharmacopoeia and the processing standards of traditional Chinese medicine in Zhejiang Province.”
“Precise standard pharmacy is a new concept, and it is the first in Hangzhou.” Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Society of Traditional Chinese Medicine Bao Lirong, director of the Science and Education Department of Zhejiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, mentioned that in the past, there were refined Chinese herbal medicine pieces, and the quality of the pieces was considered more from the appearance, such as uniform specifications. “Precise standard” refers to the refining standard, that is, to study the quality process of Chinese medicinal materials, and formulate a series of standardized quality control systems for the active ingredients, planting process, and processing process. This also means that with the Jingbiao Pharmacy, ordinary people will have more choices when seeing a doctor and dispensing medicine in the future.
“When ordinary people go to see a doctor, most of them choose to take medicine in the medical insurance, and the standard of Chinese medicine decoction pieces entering the medical insurance is not high. The common people cannot choose by themselves. The price of the refined standard Chinese medicine pieces is much higher than that of the ordinary pieces, and they are not covered by medical insurance, so they need to settle at their own expense. The common people can choose high-quality and good medicines according to their own conditions and shorten the treatment period.” In Bao Lirong’s view, the common people The needs of enterprises are multi-level, and it is not possible to implement “one size fits all” for all services and products. He believes that when the conditions are ripe, other private Chinese medicine halls can also promote and try to introduce similar precision pharmacies, which is the general direction of the development of Chinese medicine services in the future. “Private medical centers are different from public hospitals. The latter provides more inclusive medical insurance, while the former can be a useful supplement to public hospitals and provide differentiated services. Traditional Chinese medicine is an important means to achieve differentiated services.”
On January 1, 2022, the “Implementation Opinions of the Zhejiang Provincial Medical Security Bureau on Supporting the Inheritance, Innovation and Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine” was officially implemented, which clearly stated that “strengthen the quality and safety of traditional Chinese medicine, and promote the quality and price of traditional Chinese medicine pieces. “The opinion emphasizes that medical institutions implement the state-provided addition policy for Chinese herbal pieces, promote medical institutions to establish a mechanism for determining the purchase price based on the quality of Chinese medicine, and promote the procurement of Chinese medicine pieces and Chinese medicine formula granules through the provincial centralized drug procurement platform Sunshine.

“Zhejiang Province, as a strong economic province and a major province for the development of traditional Chinese medicine, in the 14th Five-Year Development Plan, proposed The pragmatic policy of high-quality development of traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the development of high-quality traditional Chinese medicine services, and the construction of a ‘Zhejiang-made good medicine’ industrial brand and a ‘Zhejiang’ brand.” Zhang Shichen, the former senior vice president of the China Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine, told Hope that there are upstream and downstream industries in the industry. The strength and standardization of the enterprise, the strong alliance leads the industry development, mutual benefit and win-win situation, and provides high-quality traditional Chinese medicine services for the people of Hangzhou.
