Shanghai and four provinces in the Yangtze River Delta region inked a memorandum of cooperation for the scientific supervision and innovative development of medicines in Jiashan county, Jiaxing on July 28, local media reported.

According to the memorandum, Shanghai, as well as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, and Jiangxi provinces will further their cooperation in the reform of medicine evaluation and approval processes. They will also promote the sharing of resources for medicine inspection.
