Chinese Journal of Health Policy 2017;10(8):40-43
Objective:To combine the consistency evaluation system with the total quality management,and put forward some suggestions for improving the quality of generic drugs in China.Methods:Based on the analysis of the quality of Chinese generic drugs,combined with the concept of modem process quality control,a comprehensive analysis was made on the defects of the consistency evaluation system.Results:The consistency evaluation was found to be very important for the evaluation of the results,but it is not comprehensive as the recognition is not high,and hence there are some risks in itself.As per the findings of this study,,the quality of generic drugs cannot be effectively controlled and improved at two essential points,source and the process only through the consistency evaluation.Conclusions:A good process quality management is the basis of consistency evaluation,which can compensate for the deficiency of the evaluation of the results,and reduce the risk of high input and low quality output.Therefore,it is suggested that the assessment and the total quality management standardization should be integrated and accelerated,and integrate the concept of fingerprint into the quality management system to effectively promote the quality level of Chinese generic drugs.
2.Novel drug research and development ability in China: An international comparison and analysis
Chinese Journal of Health Policy 2017;10(8):23-28
Under the background of innovation-driven development and advanced biopharmaceutical innovative construction,this paper selects the indicators from three aspects:capital investment,talent resources and innovation output,and a comparative evaluation of the innovation drug R&D ability of China and the developed countries namely United States,Japan and Europe,as the basis to reveal the policy causes of the innovation ability discrepancies in China.The empirical results show that the total amount of funds invested in R&D of innovative drugs is increasing and the number of R&D personnel has become the scale.However,the investment intensity is still far from that of the developed countries,and the capital investment structure is also deficient of rationality.This is inseparable from the absence of preferential taxation policies,lack of high-level personnel training,environmental defects in production and research,and narrow coverage of health insurance policies.

Health Human Resource Development Cooperation(HHRDC) is a critical component in Chinese foreign aid,which had cultivated thousands of health workers for Asian and Arican developing countries by on-job training,degree education,short-term exchange activities for more than 60 years.This paper systematically reviewed the management mechanism,mode and features of HHRDC via literature review,stakeholders interviews and field investigations,and it is found that the main mode of HHRDC is short-term on-job training,but its effect for capacity building is limited;although degree education account for a small proportion of HHRDC,it plays an important role for elite cultivation;the impact for medical team teaching and technical cooperation have become more obvious;the "going out" training have less invest,short period,but bigger social impact.The main challenges of HHRDC includes the deficiency of specific strategies and action plans;the lack of understanding on recipient countries' health human resource situation,characteristics and needs;the alignment with other aid programs;the lack of timely evalu ation towards current cooperation projects.According to the need analysis of undeveloped countries,it is suggested that a cooperation plan for HHDRC is required;the implementation of HHRDC should integrate into other aid programs;the follow-up mechanism and evaluation system need improved;the Chinese degree certification and qualification in local institutions need promoted;the aid to medical educational institutions should added,thereby strengthening developing countries' capacity and realizing common development.

This study conservatively estimates that the Chinese government invests about 267millions USD per year on health facilities aid,almost reaching the amount of Germany,and ranked fifth globally.Health facilities built by China mostly are general hospitals and health care centers located in Arica with unified model and standards,and are the "Turn Key" projects.These facilities have helped to alleviate the scarcity of medical and health resources and accessibility of residents to health services to some extent,as well as promoting the employment and the living standards of local people.However,due to the lack of guidance and coordination of the overall strategic planning and harmonization of health aid efforts,and the knowledge of partner countries' health systems,emphasis on demand driven and feasibility of infrastructure construction while ignoring the needs assessment and feasibility of functional fulfillment,it's hard to achieve the targeted assistance in China's health facilities aid projects.It was found that it's necessary to make three changes in the future:from "infrastructure assistance" to "functional assistance";from "'project assistance" to "program assistance";from a single government official assistance to a combination of official assistance and investment.
