MOFCOM, the NDRC and the Ministry of Finance issued an Action Plan to stabilise and upgrade foreign investment, pledging support for foreign participation in high‑quality development of the pharmaceutical sector.

The plan also backs insurers including more innovative drugs and devices in commercial coverage, encourages entry of high‑quality innovative products into the Chinese market, and calls for an industry cooperation platform to ease foreign‑made drugs’ access to retail distribution channels.
