Abstract

Medicine, as a particular commodity, its numerous properties that determine the importance of its safety. The pharmaceutical supply chain is a crucial link to ensure it. China steps up late in the pharmaceutical industry, and there are still many problems to address in the supply chain that threaten the safety of medicines. This article first introduces the concept of biomedicine and its supply chain, and the particularity of pharmaceutical products. Then, through the case analysis, the lack of standardization and non-compliance with storage and transportation are the reasons for medicine accidents in the pharmaceutical supply chain. Finally, it puts forward suggestions for the future development of the pharmaceutical supply chain from two aspects: strengthening information management and improving rules and regulations.
