Shaanxi Releases Drug Safety Assurance Plan for the 14th National Games

On March 16, a reporter learned from the Provincial Drug Administration that the agency recently issued the "Work Plan for Drug Safety Assurance for the 14th National Games, the 11th National Paralympic Games, and the 8th Special Olympics," which outlines the objectives, key measures, implementation steps, and requirements for drug safety assurance work. The "Work Plan" is divided into four phases: basic preparation, comprehensive testing and assurance, in-competition assurance, and summary and improvement. The "Work Plan" specifies that starting immediately, we have entered the comprehensive testing and assurance phase. During this period, drug regulatory authorities at the city and county levels are required to complete publicity and training on anti-doping laws, regulations, and related knowledge for relevant personnel at drug-related entities within their jurisdictions. Pharmaceutical retail enterprises must establish a catalog of drugs containing banned substances and set up dedicated counters for selling such drugs. They should also prominently display warning signs such as "Athletes should use drugs containing banned substances with caution" in conspicuous locations within their stores. Authorities should urge entities handling doping substances to promptly carry out self-inspections and rectifications as required. Drug regulatory agencies at all levels should fully leverage online information platforms and encourage retail pharmacies within their jurisdictions to use the WeChat mini-program "Shaanxi Drug Pass" as mandated, ensuring real-name registration of sales for relevant drugs. Furthermore, they should organize comprehensive inspections of the operation and use of doping substances within their jurisdictions, ensuring that any identified issues are thoroughly rectified and appropriately addressed. The "Work Plan" points out that from August 15 until the conclusion of the Games, we will enter the in-competition assurance phase. During this period, all retail pharmacies must strictly implement the real-name registration system for purchasing drugs containing banned substances. Drug regulatory authorities will intensify both visible and undercover inspections to ensure that the information registered by enterprises is authentic and complete. The Provincial Drug Administration will increase the frequency and intensity of both visible and undercover inspections, with a particular focus on monitoring the implementation of regulatory duties in districts (counties) hosting venues or sub-venues for the 14th National Games and the Paralympic Games. Drug regulatory authorities at the city and county levels should step up supervision and enforcement efforts in key areas including athlete accommodations, hotels, catering establishments, venues for various competitions, tourist attractions, airports, train stations, and entertainment venues. From the end of the Games until December 15, we will enter the summary and improvement phase. During this period, drug regulatory agencies at all levels should, based on actual conditions, comprehensively summarize the effective experiences and practices gained during the 14th National Games and the Paralympic Games, and establish and improve long-term mechanisms for drug safety assurance.
