How to supervise the network drug market abroad

As a new thing, the attitude of the world to the Internet Drug service is not consistent. Switzerland, Italy, Spain and other countries completely prohibit the sale of drugs online; Sweden's online drug-selling rights are enjoyed exclusively by a state-owned enterprise; the UK and the Netherlands are largely open minded.

At present, the foreign Internet drug Regulation mode mainly has the "pluralism" represented by the United States, the "incorporation doctrine" represented by the UK and the three modes of "nationalism" represented by Germany.

American model: Emphasis on government, market, social interaction, the State Pharmacy Board is responsible for online pharmacies and their pharmacists access and day-to-day affairs management, the U.S. Pharmacy Board is responsible for the quality of online pharmacy certification work, the federal government agencies in accordance with the functional division of supervision, consumers have group litigation and other judicial weapons.

British model: The Government and industry associations to maintain a long-term positive interaction, the UK's largest pharmaceutical industry group, the Royal Society of Medicine in charge of online pharmacy registration and pharmacist Service supervision, the establishment of a series of standard guidelines to guide the regulation of online pharmacy services; The British Medicines and Health Products Administration oversees the sale and supply and the illegal site to investigate and combat.

German model: Emphasis on government-led, with strong social health insurance as the support, not under the coverage of health care pharmacies and drugs are not reimbursed, the system eliminates the possibility of counterfeit drugs in the internet circulation. In addition, the German Government, through the Pharmacist Association, regulates all entities and online pharmacies in the country, establishes a compensation fund for drug Damage and establishes a pharmacy surveillance system.
