ABSTRACT

@#OBJECTIVE To investigate the situation of pharmaceutical pr eparations in medical institutions （hereinafter refer to hospital preparations ），and to promote the sustained and healthy development of hospital preparations. METHODS Under the organization of National Pharmacy Administration & Quality Control Center ，internet survey was adopted to statistically analyze the data of hospital preparations in 2019 that was completed and reported by the secondary general hospitals and above in provinces （cities，districts）and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps. RESULTS Among the 4 639 hospitals，9.36％ had drug approval numbers and 8.15％ had preparation laboratories. The average ratio of the number of hospital preparations in production to the number of preparations approved was 0.72，and that of 41.52％ hospital was concentrated in 1-0.9. Self-produced by hospital was the main production mode of hospital preparations ；the higher hospital level was ，the higher the proportion of self-production combined with commissioned processing ，while the lower the proportion of commissioned processing only. In hospitals with preparation approval numbers ，the proportion of owning TCM preparations was the highest （73.66％），followed by common chemical preparations （69.93％）. From perspective of annual output value of hospital preparations ，tertiary hospitals were higher than secondary hospitals ，and private hospitals were higher than public hospitals ；it was related to the production mode ，varieties of hospital preparations and the establishment of the preparation laboratories. There was a trend that the development of hospital preparations in C entral China ，North China and South China was better than that in the Northeast China ，Northwest China and Southwest China. CONCLUSIONS At present ，hospital preparations in China are mainly made in medical institutions ， com and the types are relatively limited. The regional developmentis unbalanced and the scale of hospital preparations is reduced.It is suggested that medical institutions should pay attention to the innovation of hospital preparations ，especially to deve lopment of characteristic preparations with definite curative effect ，so as to give full play to their role of “shortage make-up ”. Great importance also should be paid to the policy support of dispensing and the establishment of regional dispensing centers.
