[01] Health minister at Economist conference
Health Minister Dimitris Avramopoulos, addressing the Economist's
conference on Monday, said that the pricing of pharmaceuticals in
Greece will gradually pass on to the Health ministry. The pricing of
pharmaceuticals has been carried out by the Development ministry so
far.
The Health minister further said that the issue was not one of
persons but of government policies and that it was something that
should have been done long ago. He also referred to backing for the
National Pharmaceuticals Organisation and to emphasis that will be
placed in the coming years on the sector of pharmaceutical research
in the country.
Avramopoulos revealed that over the first six months that the new
law on prucurements has been in force, through tendering, 50 million
euros have been saved and the target is to have a total of 500
million euros saved from procurements to public hospitals.
