Objective To analyze the causes of drug shortages in China and put forward some countermeasures and suggestions accordingly. Methods Based on the relevant data of 14 provinces that issued the lists of drug shortages from 2018 to 2020, 377 kinds of drugs were sorted out first, and then the features of shortage were analyzed descriptively. Finally, the degree and causes of shortage were studied based on field investigation and literature summary. Results and Conclusion Among the drugs in short supply across the country, 69.2% of them were listed in the National Medical Insurance Catalogue, 37.1% were essential drugs and 26.5% were low-price drugs. They were used for different diseases, and most were for treating nervous system and blood system. There were many reasons for drug shortages. For instance, any problems in supply chain (production, circulation, use) could lead to drug shortages, of which the production accounted for the largest proportion. This paper puts forward targeted measures to solve drug shortages from the aspects of unwillingness and inability of manufacturing enterprises in their production.
