"Chinese Medicine Law" is expected to be introduced during the year

As the birthplace of Chinese medicine, all walks of life in China have long been looking forward to the internationalization of Chinese medicine, but they are faced with no national laws. The National People's Congress (NPC) deputy and chairman of Tian Shili Yan Xijun said: “We always hope that foreign governments will agree with the legitimacy of Chinese medicine and protect it through the law. However, we do not have a national law. How can we ask others? ”

Over the years, the internationalization of traditional Chinese medicine has not been smooth, and so far no traditional Chinese medicine has been approved by the FDA for therapeutic drugs. It is Tasly who has taken the lead in the internationalization of Chinese medicine.

At present, Tasly's flagship product, Compound Danshen Dripping Pills, is undergoing Phase III clinical trials in the United States. It is the only compound Chinese medicine that enters Phase III in the world. Once approved by the FDA, it will be used as a prescription drug to enter the mainstream pharmaceutical market in developed countries such as the United States and become a world-class medicine.

It is reported that the main spirit of the Chinese Medicine Law is "support, promotion and development" and promote the development of the Chinese medicine industry in the new situation.

Yan Xijun put forward proposals for the Chinese medicine legislation jointly with other NPC deputies several years ago. He believes that after the legislation of Chinese medicine, it is of great significance for the healthy development of Chinese medicine. Under the guidance and regulation of this law, China's Chinese medicine industry will usher in a huge space for development.

Cross-branch and cross-industry “joint” calls for accelerating Chinese medicine legislation The National People's Congress has not yet opened. Delegates are already busy with their duties. Yesterday, Deputy Chairman of the Standing Committee of the People's Congress of People’s Congress Lei Yulan and Chairman of the Kangmei Pharmaceutical Group Ma Xingtian, two representatives of the Guangdong delegation, arrived at the Beijing resident hotel. They discussed with the visiting President of the Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering Zhang Boli. Accelerate the legislative work of Chinese medicine.

“Guangdong was the first country to propose a strong province of Chinese medicine in the country and the impact was very great. Therefore, I was the first one to come to you for consultation!” Zhang Burley said on behalf of a fast person. He said that including the surrounding South Korea and India, there are already 54 countries in the world that have established traditional medicine-related bills. Australia, Canada, and other developed countries also have Chinese medicine bills. However, as a Chinese national culture, Chinese medicine has not yet had a special law. At present, China still manages traditional Chinese medicine with reference to the model of western medicine, which has led to the weakening of the features of traditional Chinese medicine and the loss of some effective technologies and methods. Accelerating the legislation of Chinese medicine will help bring into play the role of China in the field of independent innovation, promote the development of healthy industries, and promote national traditional culture.

"Chinese medicine has been for thousands of years, and it cannot be ignored! Legislation is also very important for us drug companies! I have proposed five years of advice and will continue to mention this year!" Ma Xingtian said with excitement that the absence of Chinese medicine laws has always been a constraint. The bottleneck in the development of the pharmaceutical industry. Due to the lack of specific laws and regulations, the production, circulation, and treatment of traditional Chinese medicines are not standardized enough. The "going out" process is not smooth. It is understood that the "Chinese Medicine Law (Draft for Ratification)" has been submitted to the Legislative Affairs Office of the State Council for deliberation, but the specific time for publication has not yet been clarified.

Lei Yulan said that people in Guangdong believe in traditional Chinese medicine and use traditional Chinese medicine, especially the advantages of “convenient and inexpensive” in traditional Chinese medicine, and do a good job in health care and reduce medical expenses. The legislation of Chinese medicine has been included in the legislative plan of the last NPC. The relevant state departments have also studied this in Guangdong. “We signed and submitted a proposal together, and called on the National People’s Congress to include this work in this year's work points and promote the early arrival of the Chinese Medicine Act.”

“The three of our representatives come from the political, business, and academia respectively, but the spirit of revitalizing the Chinese medicine is the same!” “I hope this proposal will play a 'tributary' role!”... The three more excited In the proposal, he solemnly signed his name and completed a cross-team and cross-industry “joint”.
