State Food and Drug Administration invested 61.07 million yuan to promote the development of Xinjiang's national pharmaceutical industry

On the 14th, the national food and drug supervision and control system counterpart promotion work conference was held in Urumqi. Shao Mingli, secretary of the party committee and director of the State Food and Drug Administration, emphasized that strengthening the building of food and drug regulatory enforcement capacity is a clear requirement of the central government for food and drug supervision and management and unified assistance to Xinjiang.

Song Airong, member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee of the autonomous region, Tieli Waldi Abdurixite, vice chairman of the autonomous region, Song Jianye, deputy commander of the BINGTANG, and Yu Shengde, party secretary of the Food and Drug Administration of the autonomous region attended the meeting.

Xinjiang and the State Food and Drug Administration signed the "Framework Agreement on Strategic Cooperation for the Development of the National Pharmaceutical Industry with Focus on Uygur Medicine in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region". Song Airong, a member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee of Xinjiang Autonomous Region, stated that Xinjiang's food and drug regulatory base is still relatively weak, the overall industry development level is low, the industrial structure is irrational, the production and distribution order is not standardized, and the technological innovation capability is still insufficient. These problems still exist, and are still in a period of high risk and prominent contradictions. .

It is hoped that through the assistance of the State Bureau and other provinces and cities, the coordination and guidance of the food and drug supervision and administration system will be strengthened. It can also promote the development of Xinjiang's national medicine business focusing on Uyghur medicine in view of the weak actual situation of ethnic medicine research in Xinjiang. At the same time, with the help of various aid agencies, we have increased support for the infrastructure and equipment construction of new institutions, ensured the smooth progress of food and drug supervision, and continued to tilt toward Xinjiang in personnel training. In view of the current situation of insufficient inspection capacity of the Drug Administration of the Autonomous Region and the City of Dezhou, more technical support will be provided to improve the inspection and testing capabilities of food and drugs in Xinjiang.

“Food and drug safety is an important part of social public safety and has even become the cornerstone of social harmony and stability.” Shao Mingli said that at present, there is still a certain distance between the technical support level of food and drug supervision and work in Xinjiang, and it is necessary to make great efforts to comprehensively upgrade it. The inspection and testing institutions of the Central Inspection Institute and the supporting provinces and cities shall play a role in improving the level of inspection and testing, and focus on improving the inspection of new functions such as food, health food, and cosmetics. At the same time, it is necessary to increase technical support for the inspection of imported medicinal materials and to equip the necessary equipment.

In addition, the food and drug regulatory system in Xinjiang needs to further improve its ability to detect, report, pre-warn, analyze, and deal with adverse drug reactions and medical device adverse events. It also has equipped with adverse reaction monitoring equipment and application systems, and makes full use of information technology. In response to these various tasks that need to be improved, in 2011, the State Bureau has decided to invest 61.07 million yuan in aid funds for personnel training, maintenance of drug standards, inspection and monitoring capacity building, equipment and law enforcement equipment. “Strengthening the construction of food and drug regulatory enforcement capacity is a clear requirement put forward by the central government for food and drug supervision and management and unified assistance to Xinjiang,” said Shao Mingli.

Shao Mingli emphasized that judging from the current progress of the work, it is still a difficult task to support the provincial and municipal bureaus' aid projects into the local government's aid plan. In addition, due to the influence of the reform of the recipient system, the needs of some aided areas in Xinjiang have not been incorporated into local planning. This is also a problem. It is still difficult to rely on food and drug supervision alone to carry out large-scale assistance.

"In the course of the implementation of the plan, the recipients also need to make timely adjustments according to the implementation situation and work together for the safety supervision of food and pharmaceuticals in Xinjiang," said Shao Mingli.
