The great examination of epidemic situation brings great opportunities for the development of traditional Chinese medicine industry

Wen, ou tingjun In February 11th, novel coronavirus pneumonia was rarely heard in the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the website of the State Administration of supervision The Chinese medicine experts from all over the country responded well to the prescription of Chinese medicine prescribed by the new crown pneumonia patients The novel coronavirus pneumonia (No 1 novel coronavirus pneumonia) was reported in the Eighth People's Hospital of Guangzhou, and was used in 30 new crown pneumonia treatment hospitals in the province The prescription was used to treat 50 cases of newly diagnosed pneumonia In Henan Province, a provincial and municipal TCM technical guidance group composed of 314 experts participated in the diagnosis, treatment and consultation of patients with severe and severe diseases in an all-round way, and the success rates of TCM collaborative treatment were 94.31% and 90.7% respectively (1) It has been proved that there is no substitute for the effect of traditional Chinese medicine on the prevention and treatment of epidemic diseases and the improvement of human immune function China's novel coronavirus pneumonia group is the member of the central steering group, the Chinese Academy of engineering and President of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine Zhang is also the principal member of the Chinese Academy of engineering It is not hard to see that the epidemic examination before and after the Spring Festival not only makes the whole country deeply feel that having a healthy body and soul is more important than anything, but also makes the vast number of patients feel the great power of traditional Chinese medicine in epidemic prevention and treatment and improving the immune function of human body Now, traditional Chinese medicine has been praised by authoritative people at home and abroad in the long-term clinical verification, and has been widely recognized by the international community and consumers It can be seen that the great health industry of traditional Chinese medicine will become one of the most potential industries at home and abroad today and in the future There is no doubt that people's health is directly related to the rise and fall of the country and the nation and the happiness of the family In the process of promoting high-quality development in our country, prevention and treatment and improving human immunity will become the core content of the whole social development In the future, the medical security and social welfare of urban and rural residents will be gradually improved and improved, and the people's medical and health expenditure will gradually change from epidemic prevention and treatment to improving their immune function and health care The treasure of traditional Chinese medicine, which has the unique advantage of "treating diseases before they occur", will usher in an unprecedented development opportunity, and it will become an important supporting point for the high-quality development of China's economy Since the reform and opening up, the traditional Chinese medicine industry has been further developed, and its growth rate is very gratifying According to academician Zhang Boli, a practitioner and promoter of the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine, the output value of the national traditional Chinese medicine industry is currently about 900 billion yuan, accounting for about 1 / 3 of the total output value of China's biomedical industry, and will drive the formation of a large-scale health industry of traditional Chinese medicine with a scale of about 2.5 trillion yuan (2) According to the statistics of the World Health Organization, in 2018, the global market capacity of Chinese herbal medicine reached US $80 billion, and the total export volume of Chinese herbal medicine trade reached US $3.909 billion, but most of them were Chinese herbal medicine and plant extracts with low added value Among them, the export volume of Chinese patent medicine is only US $264 million, and the huge market potential of Chinese medicine industry needs us to tap Since the eighteen Party Congress, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core attaches great importance to the development of the Chinese medicine industry and has included the development of the Chinese medicine industry in the national strategy The State Council successively issued the outline of strategic planning for the development of traditional Chinese medicine (2016-2030) and the outline of planning for healthy China 2030 In July 2017, the Chinese medicine law of the people's Republic of China was officially promulgated in legal form With the strong support of national policies, relevant departments and local governments have introduced relevant implementation measures, many places have incorporated the development of traditional Chinese medicine industry into their own urban and rural regional economic development plans However, it is regrettable that in recent years, the development of traditional Chinese medicine industry enterprises is not ideal, there is a certain gap according to the requirements of the central policy planning, and the overall growth of traditional Chinese medicine industry forms a contrast in varying degrees As of the third quarter of 2018, the main business income of traditional Chinese medicine industry has dropped by 37.7% compared with 2016, and the proportion of the main business income of traditional Chinese medicine industry in the pharmaceutical industry has declined from 23.63% in 2013 to 18% (3) From the perspective of Enterprises above the scale of Chinese patent medicine, 40% of the 70 Chinese patent medicine enterprises included in the statistics showed a decline in their net profit, and less than 20 enterprises with net profit growth rate of more than 20% In the first half of 2019, among the seven enterprises with operating revenue of more than 5 billion, only two enterprises, China Resources Sanjiu and Taiji group, have a net profit growth rate of more than 20%, while most of the other enterprises have a net profit growth rate of less than 10%, and some even have a decline (4) In fact, the reasons for the decline of business income and profit of Chinese patent medicine enterprises are not only the original difficulties in internal operation and management of enterprises, but also the many restrictions on the approval, clinical use and medical insurance catalogue of Chinese patent medicine in China over the years, which is an important factor in the decline of growth of Chinese patent medicine enterprises People in the industry generally believe that many high-quality products of Chinese patent medicine will be forced to withdraw from the hospital under a series of restrictions, such as banning the development of Chinese patent medicine and controlling the cost of medical reform, zero addition of drugs and controlling the proportion of drugs In the words of Hu Jiqiang, deputy to the National People's Congress and chairman of Kangenbei Group Co., Ltd., "if this situation is not improved, it will be far away from reaching the goal of 30% of the proportion of traditional Chinese medicine proposed in the outline of the development law of traditional Chinese medicine and the outline of healthy China." Obviously, the development of Chinese medicine industry in the specific implementation process is still restricted by many factors In the critical period of industrial transformation and development, this situation is not suitable for the development requirements of the great health industry of traditional Chinese medicine and the people's keen demand for the prevention and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, health care and physical fitness It has virtually lost the huge market at home and abroad, and even coaxed the market to the western medicine industry In view of the above facts and the potential huge market of TCM industry, relevant departments have the responsibility and obligation to build and improve the implementation rules in line with the TCM industry development plan, and modify the laws and regulations that do not meet the requirements of the development of contemporary TCM industry Not long ago, Wang Chengde, member of the CPPCC National Committee and President of Beijing shuntiande Hospital of traditional Chinese medicine, said in an interview with the media (5): "according to the requirements of the law of traditional Chinese medicine, it is necessary to repeal and modify some previous laws and regulations." Let the whole industry form a consensus How can we see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain After this examination, we must conscientiously implement the important instructions of general secretary Xi Jinping (6): "promote the development of Chinese medicine and industry, promote the development of Chinese medicine to the world, give full play to the unique advantages and functions of Chinese medicine in preventing and treating diseases, and contribute to building a healthy China and realizing the great dream of the great rejuvenation of China." "Party committees and governments at all levels and relevant departments are required to put people's life safety and physical health first." With reform and innovation as the driving force, we should timely break the shackles that hinder the development of the great health industry of traditional Chinese medicine, focus on the following points, and make up for the shortcomings in the development of the great health industry of traditional Chinese medicine First of all, the relevant functional departments should focus on the health industry of traditional Chinese medicine as the top priority of national economy, people's livelihood and industrial transformation and upgrading We will increase investment in science and technology in the industry of traditional Chinese medicine, strengthen research on basic theoretical issues of traditional Chinese medicine, and formulate various implementation measures We should make clear the key points of support, set up a special government research fund, increase the research institutes of traditional Chinese medicine to carry out discipline and technology research, and strive to build China into a world innovation base of traditional Chinese medicine Second, break the rules and boundaries Establish a scientific research team to meet the needs of the project, build a new mode of effective utilization of scientific and technological resources, encourage interdisciplinary, and break through the major scientific and technological problems of traditional Chinese medicine We should build a system and mechanism to adapt to the development of traditional Chinese medicine industry, realize the "marriage" between scientific research institutes and large and medium-sized enterprises, grass-roots medical units or individuals, and vigorously promote technology transfer and cooperation We will effectively transform the achievements of scientific research of traditional Chinese medicine into productive forces, thoroughly solve the bad situation of Western management of traditional Chinese medicine, loosen the ties of traditional Chinese medicine, focus on supporting the construction and development of qualified medical institutions of traditional Chinese medicine, and truly enable medical and scientific research institutions of traditional Chinese medicine to provide a strong guarantee for the development of traditional Chinese medicine industry and the protection of people's health In addition, we should make up for the shortcomings in the development of traditional Chinese medicine industry We will increase policy support to truly synchronize the infrastructure of urban and rural TCM medical institutions with those of the same level We should make sure that the medical institutions of traditional Chinese medicine have advanced hardware and equipment, sufficient personnel and sound management, and take on the great responsibility of innovation and development in scientific research, medical treatment, epidemic prevention and treatment, improvement of human immunity, health care and other aspects of the industry of traditional Chinese medicine in the new era At present, in the face of the problems of Chinese medicine talents, such as unreasonable structure, narrow knowledge, weak innovation consciousness, poor innovation thinking, weak practical ability and lack of mutual integration among disciplines Efforts should be made to deepen the reform of the education system, keep the teaching content of the course system of traditional Chinese medicine, broaden the scope of the major, and incorporate the major of traditional Chinese medicine and the latest scientific research achievements into the teaching and clinical practice We will continue to introduce heuristic, discussion, research and participatory teaching methods, strive to create a harmonious and relaxed learning atmosphere, and stimulate students' divergent and heterosexual thinking Give full play to students' subjective initiative, inspire students' exploration spirit and innovative thinking, and develop students' potential innovation quality and potential To build a talent training system in line with the development of traditional Chinese medicine industry, and realize the integration of traditional Chinese medicine education, teaching reform and standardized training of traditional Chinese medicine talents and hospital doctors We will actively implement the project of inheritance and education of TCM experts such as TCM masters, and establish a comprehensive system of inheritance and education for TCM practitioners We should strengthen the collaborative reform of medical education, focus on clinical Chinese medicine, build a balance mechanism between the supply and demand of talents in traditional Chinese medicine, encourage colleges and universities with conditions to explore and hold clinical research on traditional Chinese medicine, and bring the training of talents in traditional Chinese medicine into a permanent and legal track In this regard, all relevant departments and competent units shall incorporate general practitioners and traditional Chinese medicine (ethnic medicine) into the standardized training system of doctors in hospitals Local tertiary hospitals shall fully open general practitioners and strengthen the training of doctors in cities, counties and villages We will coordinate management, integrate resources, and promote on-the-job and on-the-job training in urban and rural hospitals We will further improve the incentive policy for the use of TCM talents, and pay more attention to general practitioners and grassroots positions, so as to create a large number of well-equipped TCM talents for "healthy China" Traditional Chinese medicine is a precious heritage left by our ancestors The times call for us to treasure and protect it more We have the responsibility and obligation to transform this treasure into the development advantage of traditional Chinese medicine industry, into a strong guardian of people's health, and thoroughly eliminate the misunderstanding of Western medicine mode in drug approval in the past According to the syndrome differentiation and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, multi-target verification is adopted to optimize the entry threshold of examination and approval of traditional Chinese medicine The responsibility lies in innovation It is the key to innovate the direct approval process of traditional Chinese medicine in the new era Establish animal models and let mice "nod" Break the rules and regulations that seriously restrict the development of traditional Chinese medicine industry, and directly approve those classic prescriptions that have been handed down for thousands of years It is necessary to evaluate the safety of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions with toxicity The clinical verification of traditional Chinese medicine should be based on the standard of traditional Chinese medicine, and the pharmacists should make a quick, scientific and objective comprehensive evaluation on drug verification, monitoring and patients' drug efficacy and response Application of traditional Chinese Medicine
