The administration plans to promptly disclose any information regarding the essential drugs' quality. This includes drug recalls, adverse reactions, official investigations, testing results and blacklisted pharmaceutical personnel and organizations. In addition to extending its testing coverage to all essential drugs and increasing the testing sample sizes, the SFDA also requests essential drug makers, distributors, retailers and healthcare institutes to pay constant attention to the drugs' quality and immediately recall any of those with safety concerns.
