"In the past 40 years, China's public health and health undertakings have made great progress, but the state's support for clinical medical research at this stage is lagging behind." Lin Ye, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and a professor at Peking University Stomatological Hospital, told reporters that at present, in China's existing national scientific research fund system, the fund channels that may be applied for for clinical medical research are very limited, and the special establishment of clinical medical research funds is of great significance at this stage. Member Lin Ye said that the establishment of the National Medical Clinical Research Fund is conducive to the development of clinical medicine in China. China's clinical medicine faces the birth and death of 1.4 billion people, faces almost all the disease spectrum of mankind, faces the people's beautiful pursuit of healthy life, and faces the huge demand for modern clinical medical research. Its scope and heavy task urgently require more government funding to support clinical medical research. The establishment of the Clinical Research Fund is conducive to improving the government's investment in health and hygiene, and is conducive to the development of clinical medicine. Member Lin Ye held that the establishment of the National Clinical Medicine Research Fund is conducive to returning doctors to clinical medical treatment and is conducive to the sustainable development of clinical medicine. Internationally, modern medical science is divided into two different fields of basic medicine and clinical medicine, basic medicine mainly studies the nature and law of human life and disease phenomena through laboratory and animal testing, and clinical medicine includes five directions of disease prevention, diagnosis, treatment, management and rehabilitation. However, the medical science research funds established in China at this stage all consider more basic medical research and less clinical medical research. "Clinical medicine has a long growth cycle, and a good surgeon needs to have about 10 to 15 years of clinical training in addition to having insight. But now the discipline assessment, talent promotion policy, so that young doctors simply can not rest assured in clinical training. Most clinicians even put down the clinical technical training in their hands and find time to learn to do basic medical research in order to apply for basic research funds, although they have repeatedly lost battles, they have repeatedly lost battles, and there is no way out. Member Hayashi Said.

In this regard, he suggested that the scientific division of medical science should be considered in the existing life science research funds of the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Natural Science Foundation, and a certain proportion of research funds should be specially allocated for clinical medical research every year. Second, the State should set up a special agency to manage the Medical and Health Science Fund. (Economic Daily- China Economic Network reporter Chang Li)
