식품안전정책개발원·한국의약품안전공단 신설

(서울=연합뉴스) 박상현 기자 = 정부가 공공기관 감축을 추진하는 가운데 식품의약품안전처가 식품·의약품 안전관리 전문성을 강화하고 서비스 효율성을 높이기 위해 관련 소관 기관 중 5개를 2개로 통합한다.

식약처는 식품안전정보원과 식생활안전관리원을 식품안전정책개발원(가칭)으로 통합하고, 한국의약품안전관리원·한국희귀필수의약품센터·백신안전기술지원센터는 한국의약품안전공단(가칭)으로 합친다고 7일 밝혔다.

식약처는 기관 통합에 대해 국민 눈높이에 맞는 식의약 안전관리 실현을 목표로 기관별 기능을 연계하고 개편하려는 것이라고 설명했다.

식품안전정보원은 식품안전 정보 수집·분석과 정책 연구를 수행했고, 식생활안전관리원은 어린이·노인 등이 이용하는 급식 위생과 영양관리 관련 업무를 맡아왔다.

신설되는 식품안전정책개발원은 기존 기관들이 담당해 왔던 여러 정책을 유기적으로 연계해 추진하게 된다.

식약처 관계자는 "식품 위해 정보 전파 대상을 어린이집, 노인복지시설 등 급식 현장까지 확대하고, 식생활안전관리원이 수집한 위생·영양관리 데이터를 정책 개발에 활용할 것"이라고 말했다.

의약품 기관들을 통합해 만들어지는 한국의약품안전공단은 백신과 희귀의약품 안전 정보 수집, 피해 보상, 수급 관리를 체계적으로 실시한다.

필수의약품 투약 후 부작용이 발생하는 경우 지금까지는 한국의약품안전관리원에 피해 구제 정보를 문의하고 대체 의약품 도입 등에 관한 정보는 한국희귀필수의약품센터에서 확인해야 했으나, 앞으로는 모두 의약품안전공단에 알아보면 된다.

이 공단은 백신뿐만 아니라 신약, 첨단 바이오의약품 등 전체 의약품의 시험분석 장비, 교육 인프라 확대 등을 추진한다.

Cho Kuk, President of the Cho Kuk Innovation Party’s Institute for Innovative Policy, demands an official apology for attacks from factions within the Democratic Party, criticizing “centrist expansion” as the cause of President Lee Jae-myung’s declining approval ratings.

Cho Kuk, President of the Cho Kuk Innovation Party’s Institute for Innovative Policy, stated on the 7th that an official apology for attacks by factions within the Democratic Party is a basic condition for party merger discussions, and criticized the strategy of alienating the traditional progressive base or making specific groups enemies in pursuit of centrist expansion as the cause of President Lee Jae-myung’s declining approval ratings; he also argued that enacting a special prosecutor law to address the prosecution’s fabricated investigation would open the path to dismissing the indictment.
