ABSTRACT
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.
