METHODS:The development and status quo of NPS control by international organization were summarized and studied through retrieving and collecting literatures,reports and policies about NPS from domestic and foreign databases,news reports and international website. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:International narcot-ics control dated back to opium trade with China in 19th century. International narcotics control system was established preliminarily by Shanghai conference and Haiya conference. The end of World War Ⅰ,the establishment of the League of Nations and the sign-ing of a number of international treaties promoted the development of internal control system. Through World War Ⅱ,the establish-ment of the United Nations and the change of international control organization,a number of international treaties were integrated into Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs in the early 1960s,which was used as the foundation of narcotics control system all round the world. In 1970s,the adoption of Convention on Psychotropic Substances meant psychotropic substances were included in the scope of internal control. In 1980s,the signing of United Nations Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psy-chotropic Substances marked the establishment of three conventions system of international NPS control.

Objective:To improve the centralized bidding and procurement of drugs in China .Methods:By u-sing literature review , comparative analysis and field investigation , this study collected and analyzed implementation plans and regulations of the centralized bidding and procurement of drugs in 2015 .Results and Conclusions:Progress of centralized bidding procurement practice was mixed and there were differences in the scope of implementation , quality level classification , evaluation system of double envelope bidding , and other aspects among provinces .The government should give full play to the role of medical insurance department in drug procurement and group purcha -sing , develop a relatively comprehensive drug quality evaluation system , and speed up the evaluation of the consisten-cy of generic drugs .

In this research paper , we intend to come up with making proposals to centralized drug procurement in each province in China .Document consultations about drug centralized procurement in each province in 2015 were used to collect information and this information was further summarized and comparatively analyzed .From the results , it's clear that each province has designed an implementation plan based on the No .7 and the No.70 documents. When carrying out the centralized procurement , the practice on organizational structure , procurement classification , procurement with quantity , drug distribution and payment collection in each province vary from one province to anoth-er.In view of the observed results , it is worthwhile that each province should centralize its tender and procurement system , explore new ways for involving health insurance department in centralized drug procurement , implement joint reformation for public health services , medical insurance and medical production-circulation , and oppose regional protection in any form to ensure the success and equity of centralized drug procurement .
