Research on the supply guarantee system of orphan drugs in South Korea from the perspective of accessibility and its enlightenment / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE To systematically introduce the supply guarantee system of orphan drugs in South Korea， and to provide reference for improving the accessibility of orphan drugs in China. METHODS The basic characteristics and practical experience of supply guarantee system of orphan drugs in South Korea were summarized by studying the marketing incentive mechanism， reserve supply mechanism and emergency use mechanism. Then， based on the research on the current situation and existing problems of orphan drug supply in China， specific suggestions were put forward to improve the accessibility of orphan drugs in China. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS South Korea has effectively improved the accessibility of orphan drugs through orphan drug identification channels and supporting incentive policies， relying on the reserve supply mechanism and the import route for emergency use. Therefore， it is suggested that China should guarantee the normal supply of orphan drugs from three aspects： improving the recognition and incentive policy of orphan drugs， building a full-time management department of orphan drugs， and optimizing the temporary import path.

Analysis on the Reasons and Countermeasures of Drug Network Withdrawa l under the Background of the Nor- malization of Centralized Volume-based Procurement / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE：To provid e reference for the optimization and improvement of centralized volume-based procurement policy of drugs in China. METHODS ：Six provinces ，i.e. Hebei ，Jiangsu，Hainan，Henan，Jiangxi and Yunnan ，were randomly selected nationwide by random sampling to summarize and analyze the information of drug network withdrawal from Jan. 1st，2018 to Nov. 30th，2020. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS ：Jiangsu province had the largest number of withdrawn products from the network，being 6 331；Yunnan province had the smallest ，being 101. Product price was the leading factor for drug network withdrawal，accounting for 89.12％；the second factor was product quality ，accounting for 7.06％；the third factor was the product supply，accounting for 2.91％. At present ，there were many problems in drug network withdrawal in China ，such as inconsistent withdrawal regulations in different regions ，unclear subjects of withdrawal behavior ，difficulty in sharing information of purchasing platforms in different regions ，unreasonable bidding rules of online drugs ，etc. Some suggestions are put forward to promote standardization of drug network withdrawal ，promote information sharing among provincial platforms ，actively develop drug price monitoring，support enterprises to make reasonable pricing based on cost ，strengthen departmental linkage and guarantee of drug supply so as to improve centralized volume-based procurement policy of drugs.
