Current status,problems and countermeasures of construction of standardization system of traditional Chinese medicine

Abstract

At present,China has issued a series of standards relating to traditional Chinese medicine(TCM). The standard system has already taken shape,but there are still some problems,such as incomplete standard system,low standard quality,inadequate application,insufficient study strength and lack of talent. This paper makes a detailed analysis of current management and development of standardization of traditional Chinese medicine in the aspects of " management mechanism and system construction" and " standards".The problems existing in the standardization of TCM are analyzed in three aspects: quality and popularization,standard research and talent reserve. At the same time,some suggestions are put forward to solve the problems. First,we shall strengthen the management of top-level design; second,we shall guide the transformation of high-quality scientific and technological achievements to standards;third,we shall consolidate the basic research of standardization of TCM; fourth,we shall focus on cultivating standardized technical talents; and fifth,we shall strengthen the standard research and development work in key fields.
