面向21世紀的中藥現代化

In Facing of 21th Century and the Modernization of Chinese Materia Medica

21 世紀即將到來，在新的世紀裡中國經濟將會有更大的增長，人民的生活將有更大幅度的提高，科學、文化、教育、衛生將有更迅速的發展。在新的世紀，具有我國傳統文化特色和獨特優勢的中醫中藥，正面臨著良好的機遇和嚴峻的挑戰；隨著社會的發展，人類的醫療模式正由單純的疾病治療轉向預防與保健相結合的模式；威脅人類健康的疾病也由傳染性疾病向著影響身心的慢性疾病方面轉化；人口的老齡化使一些老年性疾患的防治問題更加突出； 由於生存環境的不斷惡化，＂ 人類要回歸大自然 ＂的思潮愈來愈形成一股強大的潮流；人們生活水平的不斷提高，對醫療保障體系也就有更高和更多樣化的要求；醫藥衛生界人士通過實踐逐漸認識到：對防治以身心疾病為主的現代疾病，應考慮到作用的多靶點和人體的整體性等等。上述種種因素均為中藥的發展創造了良好的機遇和有利的條件。面向 21 世紀，中藥同時又面臨一系列嚴峻的挑戰；隨著中國醫藥市場愈來愈融入到國際醫藥大市場中，已面臨強大跨國醫藥集團的激烈競爭，我國傳統中藥產生的眾多產品，由於尚不能符合國際醫藥市場的標準和要求，銷售份額還不足百分之幾，同時還受到亞洲國家中的日本、韓國、印度、泰國等傳統醫藥產品的巨大威脅。因此，在走向 21 世紀的關鍵時刻，具有傳統優勢的中藥，必須堅決依靠現代科學技術，努力開發中醫藥學這個偉大寶庫，通過實現中藥現代化，更好地滿足人民保健和經濟建設的需要。
