In March 2018, China’s National People’s Congress approved plans for the China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) to be merged into a newly formed National Market Supervision Administration, part of an overhaul of ministries. The government also plans to set up a new bureau to consolidate the administration of national health insurance and social security funds.
The draft would mean the State Council will be composed of 26 ministries and commissions. Furthermore, the changes will mean that the CFDA will no longer be a standalone department but will be part of a larger unit.
