In fact, in the guarantee of drug supply, we must establish a supply guarantee of drugs in short supply, including the response mechanism, from how to find out which drugs are in short supply, after finding it, carefully analyze its causes and give early warning.
Liang Wannian pointed out that after the early warning, we should conduct hierarchical response according to its nature, including classified response, and analyze what causes the shortage of production and what causes the shortage of price, what may be the shortage of seasonal reasons and what is the shortage of raw materials. After analyzing various reasons, according to its scope and degree, adopt different ways to deal with them. Therefore, in general, we must take the supply guarantee of shortage drugs as an important task of this year’s reform, and ensure that we can ensure the timely supply of drugs for ordinary people.
