“Now about a new mechanism for regulating drug prices.

Recently, some regions have faced the fact that there is a list of vital and essential drugs, but there are no individual drugs from it in pharmacies.

Such a situation is unacceptable, ”he said.

According to him, the government has prepared a decree that introduces features of price regulation for such drugs in order to "provide people with the widest possible access to the drugs they need."

“We are talking about the most popular drugs, the price of which should not be overstated, but the manufacturer cannot operate at a loss. The current mechanism for re-registering prices does not allow for their indexation ... It is important to ensure a balanced approach. To this end, we are introducing a new procedure for re-registering prices for drugs from the list of vital and important drugs, ”he said.
