East China’s Jiangsu province has gone all out to strengthen epidemic prevention and control and the production and market distribution of medical supplies.
The optimization and adjustment of epidemic prevention and control policies stimulated the increasing demand for antipyretic, nasal congestion relief and sneezing drugs in various regions.
In recent days, pharmaceutical enterprises in Nantong and Yangzhou have been working at full capacity to produce cold antipyretic drugs, medical masks and other key epidemic prevention materials.
Li Wei, Head of Qidong Factory of Bayer Healthcare Co., Ltd, said that in spite of the challenge of manpower shortage, they have opened all production lines around the clock, worked overtime, and made every effort to coordinate material suppliers to ensure that the supply of materials can meet the production requirements.
Xuzhou has supplied 4.69 million tablets of ibuprofen, acetaminophen and other drugs to 45 medical institutions and 161 pharmacies, and will provide more than 30 million tablets of key drugs in batches by the end of the month to meet the needs of citizens.
The Market Supervision and Administration Bureau of Binhu District, Wuxi actively contacted pharmacies to provide antipyretic drugs, anti-cold drugs and medical surgical masks to the municipal children's welfare center, helping 155 orphans and disabled children to tide over the difficulties.
“We are very grateful to them”, Zhang Lujiang, Vice President of Wuxi Children's Welfare Home said, “at the same time, we appeal to all sectors of society to give our children support if they have resources and strength”.
Drug stores in Nantong, Donghai and Zhangjiagang distribute antipyretic drugs to citizens free of charge.
According to Zhang Lei, Head of Donghai Times Medicine Chain in Yancheng, many people came to the store to buy antipyretic drugs. Seeing that people were anxious, the staffs tried to find ways to buy antipyretic drugs for free through various channels.
According to Wang Yi, a citizen of Suzhou, the boss said that he would give free medicine. In this case, we really appreciate the boss's concern.
