Abstract:

Drug regulation is the most important policy to ensure drug safety. In this article, we analyzed institutional changes and problems in China’s drug regulation. In addition, suggestions were provided to enhance the capacity of drug regulation, including a clearer functional positioning for drug regulation, increased resource inputs in drug regulation at central level, a more rational allocation of vertical drug regulatory functions, and an improved supervision mechanism for regulatory departments.

Key words: Drug regulation, Institutional change, Vertical allocation
