To speak for “health” and to speak for the people, Zhang Boli, representative of the National People’s Congress, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and honorary president of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, has been on the road. The quality standards of traditional Chinese medicine formula granules, the key technical equipment of traditional Chinese medicine, whether the traditional Chinese medicinal materials are of high quality and good price… For every issue related to the health of the people, he earnestly “inquires about the pulse” and carefully prescribes “good prescriptions”.
Prescription 1 “Explain and explain clearly” Chinese medicine
“Although the clinical efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine is obvious to all, due to the lack of modern scientific mechanism explanation, digital and objective expression, leading to The haze of ‘unscientific traditional Chinese medicine’ is lingering, and there are always problems that cannot be explained or explained clearly.” To this end, Zhang Boli led the proposal to implement the “key technology of traditional Chinese medicine” as soon as possible for the layout of major scientific and technological projects in 2035. The major scientific and technological project of “equipment” firmly grasps the source of the original advantages of traditional Chinese medicine in the hands of the Chinese people, multi-disciplinary collaborative research, focusing on breaking through the key technical bottleneck of “advanced diagnosis and treatment equipment of traditional Chinese medicine, advanced manufacturing equipment of traditional Chinese medicine”, and promoting traditional Chinese medicine The level of advanced manufacturing has been improved to provide strategic support for a healthy China and a powerful country in science and technology. Improve the market access policy system for traditional Chinese medicine technical equipment, incorporate the configuration of traditional Chinese medicine equipment into the construction requirements of medical service institutions, and include the service fee of traditional Chinese medicine equipment into medical insurance payments.
Traditional Chinese herbal medicines are the local government monopoly
“Chinese herbal medicines are the basis for the inheritance, innovation and development of traditional Chinese medicine, and high-quality and authentic Chinese herbal medicines are the material guarantee for the high-quality development of traditional Chinese medicines. Zhang Boli said that in recent years, with the increasing demand for Chinese medicinal materials in my country, the quality of Chinese medicinal materials has received extensive attention, such as excessive pesticide residues, sulfur fumigation, mycotoxin pollution, and unreasonable use of plant growth regulators. At the same time, the price of medicinal materials in the market fluctuates greatly, often resulting in “cheap medicine hurts farmers, expensive medicine hurts people”.
“Authentic medicinal materials are an innate advantage for my country to develop high-quality medicinal materials.” Zhang Boli, on the basis of years of research in Jilin, Gansu, Yunnan and other provinces, put forward a suggestion that the local government monopoly system of authentic medicinal materials should be implemented , and the provincial governments are responsible for the monopoly of authentic medicinal materials in the region. Gradually promote the standardized planting of high-quality medicinal materials and the traceability of the whole process, carry out the construction of a provincial-level traceability platform for traditional Chinese medicinal materials, and promote the standardized management of the whole process of the production of traditional Chinese medicinal materials, so as to realize “the source can be traced, the destination can be traced, and the responsibility can be investigated”, and supervision is strengthened. Advocate high quality and high price of Chinese herbal medicines, high quality first. Do a good job of coordinating with medical insurance and other departments.
Prescription III promotes the healthy and sustainable development of the traditional Chinese medicine formula granules industry
“In order to promote the modernization and internationalization of traditional Chinese medicine, the standardization and standardization of traditional Chinese medicine formula granules are included in the national strategy implementation.” Zhang Boli said, but at present, there are problems such as slow progress, increased production costs, and inconsistent provincial standards.
To this end, he suggested that the formulation of national standards for traditional Chinese medicine formula granules should be intensified and the speed of filing standards should be accelerated. Rationally formulate the standards for the raw materials of traditional Chinese medicine formula granules and the number of test indicators for the content of the formula granules. Cancel the formulation and filing of provincial standards for traditional Chinese medicine formula granules to avoid duplication of research and waste of social resources. Re-evaluate the currently implemented national standard based on “production volume” as the basis for doctors’ prescriptions, and solve the current problems of drug safety, waste of resources and high prices.
