To the information technology departments of the drug regulatory authorities (market supervision and administration authorities, or food and drug regulatory authorities) of all provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government, as well as to the information technology departments of all units directly affiliated with the National Medical Products Administration:
In recent years, drug regulatory authorities at all levels across the country, under the correct leadership of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, have taken Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as their guiding principle. They have thoroughly studied and implemented the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the CPC and the Second and Third Plenary Sessions of the 19th CPC Central Committee, carried out the series of important instructions issued by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on drug regulation, continuously enhanced the level of smart regulation, and vigorously promoted the deep integration of regulatory innovation with information technologies such as the Internet, the Internet of Things, big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence. As a result, numerous exemplary practices and innovative approaches in the fields of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and cosmetics have emerged. To further showcase the interim achievements of smart regulation, foster the application and innovation of information technology, stimulate the work enthusiasm and creativity of drug regulatory personnel, and better advance the development of the drug regulatory sector, our center plans to solicit typical cases of smart regulation nationwide.
