Ministry of Health considers possibility of temporarily restricting export of certain medicines

Published on

The Ministry of Health is considering the possibility of temporarily restricting the export of certain medicines, including antibiotics for children and oncology ones, minister Alexandru Rafila announced in a press conference, according to Agerpres.

„In the next period, together with the National Health Insurance Company, we will establish a pricing methodology, which will not lead us to the situation of the disappearance of several molecules for commercial reasons, because the products disappear due to the non-competitiveness and lack of realism of the prices for which they are sold in Romania”, explained Rafila.

The Health minister said that the problem of supplying some medicines is global.

„It is a global problem. Not only Romania is affected. (…) This year we have a recrudescence of respiratory illnesses. (…) Due to the increase in the consumption of medicines there are certain problems. Moreover, there is also pressure on production due to inflation, the costs of raw materials at the global level”, the Health minister pointed out.
