National Movement considers that the Ministry of Health should review the list of medicines issued by prescription. As Zurab Chiaberashvili stated on the press conference held in office of the party the immature "reform" of the Ministry of Health David Sergeenko once again unveiled problems of health program, reports GHN.
"Widening of the prescription method implemented by Sregeenko will not decrease uncontrolled consumption of drugs and self-treatment. However it will minimize our choice: the prescription of "drugstore doctor" hired by the company is active only in the net of that company. The "prescription reform" of Sergeenko didn't help our pockets too. In those countries where works prescription system customer has possibility to receive medicament free or with significant exemptions. If the Minister Sergeenko was widening the prescription system in this case the state has to help population to pay the price of the medicament. The Ministry is not financing medicaments. Accordingly this immature "reform" of Sergeenko one more time unveiled the problems of heath program. The National Movement considers that the Ministry of Health should review the list of medicines issued by prescription, to reduce and to bring it into line with international standards," stated Chiaberashvili.
He added that on those medicaments that will be in list of the medicaments that will be issued by the prescription the Ministry have to implement program that will fully finance the charges for patients with chronic diseases and socially unprotected people.
