Methods An interview survey was conducted in 20 township hospitals, 26 countryside drugstores, and 84 village dispensaries in Hainan, Anhui, Henan, and Sichuan Provinces. Results (1) The main drug supplying organizations in the countryside are township hospitals and village dispensaries. (2) The personnel in the drug supplying organizations are rather inadequately educated. (3) The drug resources in the grass-roots countryside are complex and disordered. (4) Most of the countryside retail drugstores are small, and the number of drugstores is small, but their development potential is great. Conclusion (1) A basic drug catalogue for rural areas should be made up. (2) Legitimate drug wholesale companies should be encouraged to supply drugs for vast countryside. (3) Development of drug distributionstations in townships should be promoted. (4) The administration of drugs in the countryside should be strengthened.展开更多

Based on the theories on organizational capability and their application in public sector, interviews with officers from drug regulatory agencies and analysis of its three determinations, the DRC was defined as the follows: a learned pattern through which the drug regulatory agencies acquire, reconstruct and utilize organizational resources to protect and advance public health. DRC can be divided into different dimensions and structured as the basic capabilities and functional capabilities. This research also introduced three learning mechanisms for DRC construction, which include learning by doing, organizational learning, and exploratory learning. Finally, a qualitative case study of drug application and approval in China was conducted to explore the relationship between regulatory capabilities and performance.展开更多

The time process was divided into three stages: the launch of laws and regulations of drug risk management, pre-market approval and post-market safety supervision, adverse drug reaction and risk communication. To address the problems existing in drug risk management in China, suggestions to further and improve the development of drug risk management are proposed.展开更多
