Chinese scientist Tu You-you won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2015, due to her outstanding contribution to the discovery of antimalarial drug artemisinin. The discovery of artemisinin is a great breakthrough using modern pharmaceutical technology to excavate ancient Chinese traditional medicine resources, based on government's coordination mechanisms. This article analyzes the research and development status of the current global antiparasitic products, as well as China's needs and strengths in related areas. The authors propose that China should take the advantage of government financing and research capacity to strengthen the research and development of antiparasitic products, so as to contribute more to improving global health equity.
