in March, 1999, the Canadian Government announced that to includes the Chinese medicine “the natural health products” the mode of administration carries on the reform, take causes as the traditional Chinese medicine formulation to be more reasonable, the more explicit administrative regulations, and causes its legalization. Thus, the traditional Chinese medicine possibly becomes the legitimate drugs in Canada, and is integrated its all the people medical insurance system. Because the Canadian market one of for Western developed country market’s important components, the Canadian legitimate traditional Chinese medicine market’s formation, will have certain exemplary role to North America and even the entire Western country’s traditional Chinese medicine market, and for our country ……
If the traditional Chinese medicine the declaration is the drugs, has the determination medicine number, and includes Canadian pharmacopoeia, must defer to the related drug control the stipulation. To each medicine, each prescription must carry on the strict examination and the examination constantly by the related organization, moreover each prescription must pay 720 Canadian dollars expenses. In addition, when drugs sell, according to the sales amount’s size, each medicine must pay constantly several dozens to several hundred Canadian dollar power of sale expenses. Because the traditional Chinese medicine has tens of thousands of different prescriptions, this regarding each doctor and each pharmacy, is the burden which withstands with difficulty. Therefore, at this point, only then few traditional Chinese medicines applied for the medicine number. Not possibly does not have the medicine number to include by the medical insurance, the user must pay own expenses completely.
The traditional Chinese medicine in Canada’s this kind of situation, causes to be employed doctor and the faith Chinese medicine traditional Chinese medicine patients feels enormous inconvenient, thus has also limited the traditional Chinese medicine and promotes in Canada’s use.
2. Canadian traditional Chinese medicine control system reform advancement.
Because Canada always advocates that the multicultural policy, the Chinese medicine traditional Chinese medicine also regards as the Chinese tribal grouping tribal group traditional culture a part. In Toronto and Vancouver two big cities, because Chinese people’s proportion is quite big, the Chinese medicine traditional Chinese medicine’s influence is big. For many years, the Chinese medicine traditional Chinese medicine profession in this kind illegal and under the permission existence’s condition insisted that is managing.
In the late 80s, some migrate Canada’s traditional Chinese doctors to join up, to adds the Federal state to request, the request revises or cancels to the traditional Chinese medicine unfair stipulation. After negotiated repeatedly, adds the Department concerned to cancel to the traditional Chinese medicine disadvantageous “Food And Drug control Rule” (The Foodand Drug Regulation), the rule attached “Table 705”, (also listed has not been able to take food herbal medicine and vegetative raw material for medicine name list, also included certain Chinese medicine). According to the pertinent data statistics, Canada the average per person expense “the natural health products” approximately amount to 1,500,000,000 Canadian dollars every year, and this amount also in grows by the every year 10%~15% speeds. This situation has caused federal and the related provincial government’s value.
in March, 1999, added the federal state medical department to announce accepted Congress “the healthy committee” in the topic is “a natural healthy product - - piece of new field of vision” in the memoir proposed 53 suggestions, decided will include the traditional Chinese medicine the herbal medicine product to list as “the natural health products”, was the same with the western medicine, “kind of drugs implemented a standarder management in addition” to these.
in June, 1999, the British Colombia province took the lead to announce the Chinese medicine legalization, and established “the Chinese medicine acupuncture administrative bureau”, the research formulation related Chinese medicine’s place policies and regulations and carried on the Chinese medicine aspect the management: Along with the Chinese medicine in this province’s legalization, other provinces, specially Chinese many places, the Chinese medicine also has the possibility to legalize one after another. If Canada’s all the people system of medical care insurance has also covered the Chinese medicine medical service, then Canada will carry on the treatment using the Chinese medicine the population to have large scale increase. Thus, not only on possibly presents a Chinese medicine medical service in Canada the service market, will also present a large-scale traditional Chinese medicine market. Although the traditional Chinese medicine management belongs to Federal state’s control area, but the Chinese medicine legalization has the complementing one another promoter action to the traditional Chinese medicine legislation.
3. Canadian traditional Chinese medicine control system reform principle and goal.
The Canadian Congress “the healthy committee” has adopted unanimously about the natural health products management reform guiding principle. The principle is as follows:
(1) determination natural healthy product’s nature, is clear its both are different with food and is different with the drugs attribute, thus cannot manages to it as food or the drugs; (2) should put in the product security the first place; (3) product must achieve the quality specification which stipulated explicitly; (4) management regulation do not limit consumer’s use not suitably; (5) consumer obtains buys the product the related information; in (6) management rule should not stipulate that by this industry, the consumer as well as the government bears not the suitable expense; (7) decision-making power should entrust with the management structure which is composed of the expert; (8) should have the opening, the transparent suit procedure; t9) should momentarily be possible to obtain the related decision and control system’s text; (10) management rule must respect each different cultural tradition.
In the 10th guiding principle, had guaranteed the traditional Chinese medicine will hold a legal status in the future in Canada conservancy of sanitation system. But 1st about to traditional Chinese medicine non-food, the non-drugs’ localization, looks like is advantageous does not favor the traditional Chinese medicine in the herbal medicine.
This Canadian traditional Chinese medicine control system reform, on the traditional Chinese medicine, it argues vigorously the goal which achieves is: Acknowledged that the traditional Chinese medicine for a China traditional culture’s part, must receive the respect, then acknowledgment traditional Chinese medicine all previous dynasties ancient book and traditional prescription: Includes the Canadian pharmacopoeia the traditional Chinese medicine, wards off a special column for it (to include the pharmacopoeia in addition the traditional Chinese medicine not to need to look like the western medicine to obtain the medicine number equally, but must obtain the authorized number; Thus, the traditional Chinese medicine may integrate all the people medical insurance system). At present, the Canadian each independent traditional Chinese medicine chamber of commerce is joining up, ferments to achieve the above common goal to try hard.
Second, adds the traditional Chinese medicine domain cooperation the prospect analysis and countermeasure
The 21st century was the life sciences new century, the human medical service traces the type to treat by the pure disease transforms the pattern which for the prevention, the health care, the recovery unified, each kind of substitution medicine and the traditional medicine were playing more and more major role. The international society expands day by day to the natural medicine’s demand. Britain and France the plant medicine’s purchasing power rose 70% separately since 1987 and 50%, but the American market is also higher than 20% speeds to grow every year. Japan’s Chinese side preparation starts from the 90s, every year grows by 15% above speeds. The international plant medicine market share has amounted to 27,000,000,000 US dollars every year. Therefore, the world each big Pharmaceutical company sets up the natural medicine research development organization. At present, internationally approximately more than 170 companies, more than 40 research communities are being engaged in the traditional medicine the research and the development work. Meanwhile, internationally applies the traditional Chinese medicine and other plant medicine patent quantity rises rapidly. The above situation urges various countries’ governments and so on Canada, Europe, Australia, US even more to take the plant medicine, these entered the international medicine market for the traditional Chinese medicine as the treatment medicine to provide the good international environment.
At present, Canada had the new understanding to the traditional Chinese medicine and implements the standard management gradually. Its result possibly has two: First, to further traditional Chinese medicine management limit severely; second, carries on the management according to the traditional Chinese medicine itself characteristic. The preceding kind of possibility is extremely disadvantageous to our country traditional Chinese medicine export, the latter kind of possibility brings the good prospect for our country traditional Chinese medicine export.
Looked on the present Canadian traditional Chinese medicine market that the sell traditional Chinese medicine comes from Hong Kong majority, a small part from mainland and Taiwan. And traditional Chinese medicine major part from Hong Kong. But, no matter is Hong Kong or Taiwan’s product, its raw material important source in mainland. Therefore, from now on Canadian import traditional Chinese medicine growth, also means my traditional Chinese medicine export increase. But along with our country traditional Chinese medicine manufacturing industry level and the traditional Chinese medicine science and technology added value’s enhancement, our country traditional Chinese medicine export should in the Canadian market the leading role. At present, Hong Kong proposed the development “the traditional Chinese medicine port” plan, but Our country Government, also advances the traditional Chinese medicine vigorously the modernization, causes it to become our country high-tech product export the new economic growth.
Holds the opportunity, strengthens except our country Government Department concerned with Canada side’s the interflow and cooperation, we should also complete the following several aspects fully the preparatory work:
1. in inherits and carries forward the Chinese medicine superiority and in the characteristic foundation, uses the modern science technology fully the method and the method, profits from the international general medicine standard standard, the research development can enter the international medicine market officially the traditional Chinese medicine product; 2. cultivates one batch of large-scale transnational traditional Chinese medicine enterprise group, the enhancement traditional Chinese medicine international competitiveness: 3rd, the traditional Chinese medicine profession’s enterprise should carry out the powerful market exploration, the investigation and study work, conducts in detail, the thorough investigation and study to Canada’s traditional Chinese medicine market, finds out the Canadian traditional Chinese medicine market various aspects situation, to expand the traditional Chinese medicine to export to Canada prepares for each kind
