Discussion on public-private partnership for emergency drug supply management system in China / 中华医院管理杂志

ABSTRACT

The theory of public goods was used to analyze the characteristics and status quo of emergency drug supply in China,holding such drugs as public goods.Based on the public-private partnership(PPP) model,the authors proposed to optimize the existing commanding mechanism,inventory system,information management system and supply system of emergency drugs.We recommended the establishment of an emergency drug supply assurance system,featuring leadership of local governments,and participation of pharmaceutical enterprises and hospitals,in which these entities are assigned with clear-cut emergency supply roles to ensure efficient supply of such drugs in the country.
