It also supplements some regulations to speed up the development of the pharmaceutical industry in order to add appropriate and breakthrough policies for investment attraction, further promoting the research and production of medicinal ingredients, and receiving technology transfer for producing high-tech drugs, biotechnology drugs, and specialised treatments, and especially research.
Besides, the bill has some contents related to administrative reform, and medicine price management.
