Objective To probe into the strategies for improving the accessibility to orphan drugs for patients of rare diseases in China. Methods Analysis of typical cases of orphan drug use in recent years in China, interviews of hospital administrators and clinical doctors, and analysis of the present health insurance policies in China for orphan drugs, definition of the concept of drug accessibility, clarification of the factors hindering orphan drug accessibility. Results Four factors are found to hinder orphan drug accessibility in such aspects of science and technology, supply, information transfer and medical assurance in China's medicine and healthcare system. These subjective and objective factors affect drug accessibility of the patients of rare diseases, denying them of drug accessibility, of drug use in time, and of affordability of such drugs. Conclusion To raise the orphan drug accessibility in China, it is necessary to define basic concepts and incentive mechanism of rare diseases and orphan drug, design and raise the response mechanism of the medicine and health system in orphan drug supply, build a three dimensional cooperation model between such parties as the government, enterprise and patient, and reduce patients' economic burdern.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the influence of the implementation of essential drug policy ( EDP) on prescrip-tion use rate of antibiotics in primary hospitals. Methods:Based on CNKI, Wanfang and VIP of China journal databases, all litera-tures were adopted including the data of the prescription use rate of antibiotics in primary hospitals. RevMan5. 3 and Stata 12. 0 soft-ware were used to conduct the Meta analysis. Results:Totally 43 literatures were included in the study according to the evaluation se-lection criteria. After the implementation of EDP, the prescription use rate of antibiotics in primary hospitals was decreased, and com-pared with that before the implementation of EDP, the risk difference value was significant [RD= -0. 03,95%CI( -0. 04,-0. 03), P<0. 000 01], while the use rate was still high (46. 16%). The result of Egger’s test indicated the publication bias of the 43 litera-tures was not significant (P=0. 571). However, there was high heterogeneity(I2 =94%,P<0. 000 01)among the different studies. Based on the classification of hospital type and different areas, the results of sub-group analysis showed the differences of study methods in the literatures and regional implementation measures of EDP contributed to the high heterogeneity among the different studies. Con-clusion:In order to reduce the heterogeneity of studies, a unified evaluation criteria for the research quality of the cross-section survey should be established. And special policies related to EDP should be taken to effectively decrease the use rate of antibiotics in primary hospitals.
