The National Essential Medicine List (2012 edition) was recently released. The new list consists of three parts: chemical medicines and biological products, Chinese proprietary medicines, and prepared slices of Chinese crude drugs; and includes 317 chemical medicines and biological products and 203 Chinese proprietary medicines. The number of chemical medicines and biological products in the list is approaching to that in the WHO current model list of essential medicines. The list lays equal stress on both traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine.
