In a recent report about the safety issue of medicines for kids, it is said that only about 60 out of the 3500 drugs that are currently available in China are specifically designed for kids, while children patients account for nearly 20% of the total number of patients in China.
 
by 2014, China has about 230 million kids, and the drug inadequacy problem is crying for solution.
 
So far there are 1098 kinds of drugs for kids complied in the catalog of China's 15 major hospitals, while only 45 kinds of them are specifically designed for kids to use.
