“Foreign manufacturers do not refuse to supply drugs.

All market participants continue to work on building new supply chains,” the agency’s website says.

It is noted that the increased demand for a number of medicines recorded in the spring has significantly decreased.

The situation with the supply of medicines to the Russian market is assessed as stable, the Roszdravnadzor concluded.

Earlier, Russian Minister of Health Mikhail Murashko said that the difficulties associated with the supply and introduction of medicines to the market in Russia had been overcome.

First Deputy Minister of Health Viktor Fisenko said that Russia is capable of producing about 80% of the entire range from the list of vital drugs.

According to Rosstat, in April 2022, drug production volumes increased by 35.9% compared to the same period last year.
