Introduction: The public security police have also begun to inspect pharmacies. The Hubei Provincial Public Security Bureau, Food and Drug Administration, and Medical Insurance jointly inspected pharmacies. This is a work carried out to further promote the "Safe Jingchu Action" special operation. The participation of the public security is also to strengthen the inspection of pharmacies in the jurisdiction.

Safety management work to ensure the health and safety of the people.

The police began to inspect pharmacies: Although the public security department does not specifically inspect pharmacies, its performance in drug store inspections is also quite professional.

During the inspection, the police from the police station reviewed the drug purchase and sales ledger of the drug store in detail, required the person in charge of the drug store to register the entire drug purchase and sales process, and provided education and guidance to the person in charge of the drug store, reminding and educating the drug store sales staff to strictly implement the temperature control of people entering the door.

Testing and real-name registration system, strict daily cleaning and disinfection system of places, strict industry standard operating procedures system; it is strictly prohibited to sell medical and epidemic prevention supplies through informal channels, it is strictly prohibited to recycle second-hand epidemic prevention supplies, and it is strictly prohibited to sell periodic banned drugs and health care products.

The police emphasized that the public's demand for masks, alcohol and other anti-epidemic supplies is still huge. As a pharmacy, it must adhere to professional ethics and be responsible to the whole society, and must not sell substandard products in violation of laws and regulations.

At the same time, the police also inspected the fire-fighting equipment and monitoring facilities in pharmacies, reminding those in charge to increase safety awareness and pay attention to fire prevention and theft prevention.

Although the "Safe Jingchu Operation" is carried out by the Hubei Provincial Public Security Department throughout the province, it focuses on ensuring post-epidemic social and economic recovery, focusing on cracking down on prominent illegal crimes, resolving social conflicts and disputes, investigating public safety hazards, and ensuring and serving economic development.

This large-scale operation involves many aspects, and pharmacies are only one component of the "drug" aspect. However, the public security police also showed their professionalism during the inspection of pharmacies.

Food and Drug Administration cooperates with the public security to inspect pharmacies: Although public security inspections of pharmacies are not new, now the public security seems to be getting more and more involved in drug store inspections.

The Anhui Provincial Food and Drug Administration issued the "Implementation Measures for Unannounced Drug Inspections in Anhui Province" (Draft for Comments (referred to as the "Measures")), stating that when necessary, the drug regulatory department can jointly carry out unannounced inspections in conjunction with the public security organs and other relevant departments.

.

In other words, in the future, unannounced inspections of pharmacies may not only include staff from the drug regulatory department, but also police from the public security agency, prosecutors from the procuratorial agency, or judges from the court.

The "Measures" also pointed out that if the unannounced inspection organized by the Provincial Food and Drug Administration finds that illegal activities need to be filed for investigation and punishment, the case can be filed directly for investigation and punishment, or the corresponding drug supervision and management department can be designated according to regulatory responsibilities to investigate and deal with, and follow up the supervision and investigation.

If any illegal conduct is discovered during unannounced inspections organized and implemented by the municipal or county drug regulatory authorities, the case shall be directly filed for investigation and punishment.

If the illegal conduct discovered during the unannounced inspection is suspected of being a crime, the drug supervision and administration department responsible for filing and investigating the case will transfer it to the public security organ, with a copy sent to the procuratorate at the same level.

After the drug regulatory department jointly carries out unannounced inspections of pharmacies with multiple departments, once it is discovered that a pharmacy has violated the law, it will directly handle the case jointly, file a case for investigation, and provide direct "one-stop service" for prosecution and litigation.

The Food and Drug Administration will cooperate with the Medical Insurance Bureau to inspect pharmacies: Recently, the Shaanxi Provincial Food and Drug Administration and the Medical Insurance Bureau jointly issued the "Notice on Carrying out Special Inspections on the Centralized Procurement of Nationally Organized Drugs and the Use of Selected Drugs" (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice").

In accordance with the requirements of the notice, from the date of issuance to the end of June 2020, drug distribution companies, relevant medical institutions and drug retail companies involved in the selected drugs need to conduct self-examinations and conduct risk assessments on situations that may affect drug quality and violate relevant medical insurance policies.

Analyze the causes, formulate rectification measures, and form a self-examination and rectification report, which shall be submitted to the Provincial Food and Drug Administration and relevant branches, the Provincial Medical Insurance Bureau, and the Municipal (District) Medical Insurance Bureau.

Starting from July, for a period of three months, the Provincial Food and Drug Administration and its branches, the Provincial Medical Insurance Bureau and the municipal (district) medical insurance bureaus will jointly carry out centralized inspections of the selected drugs within their jurisdiction.

At present, joint inspections of drug retail companies by various provinces and cities are still in full swing.

In May 2020, in accordance with the requirements of the "Notice of the Shanghai Food and Drug Administration on Carrying out Special Rectification of the "Certificate" Behavior of Practicing Pharmacists in Drug Retail Enterprises" and "Notice on Jinshan District Carrying out Special Rectification of "Cracking down on Fraud and Obtaining Medical Security Funds""

, Jinshan District Market Supervision Bureau and the District Medical Insurance Bureau conducted a special inspection of retail pharmacies within their jurisdiction.

During this inspection, more than 50 people were dispatched to form 12 inspection teams, and 22 retail pharmacies were inspected, focusing on inspections of licensed pharmacists on-the-job, drug procurement and acceptance, drug storage and maintenance, drug sales management, etc.

.

In fact, joint inspections of pharmacies by multiple departments in some regions began last year. For example, on July 15, 2019, the Fuyang City Market Supervision Department and the Medical Insurance Department conducted a two-month unannounced inspection since May.
