The National Health Commission resolutely shouldered the main responsibility of "managing the industry must manage the work style", took the lead in correcting the inter-ministerial joint working mechanism for correcting unhealthy practices in the field of pharmaceutical purchase and sales and medical services (referred to as the inter-ministerial working mechanism for rectifying unhealthy tendencies), and promoted the full coverage of the whole chain of rectification work in the pharmaceutical field. With the joint efforts of the member units of the inter-ministerial working mechanism for rectifying unhealthy tendencies, health administrative departments at all levels and the medical and health industry, the industry atmosphere in the field of pharmaceutical purchase and sales and medical services in China has continued to improve.
