This drug - regulating bill has been welcomed by Oda and PharmacThe Socialists.
The chairman of the Kosovo Pharmacists' House, Arian Jakupi, says it has been their usual request.
The drug prices link is one of the pharmacists ' constant demands and as such an oda strongly supports it. We hope that this law will start as soon as approved and implementing it”, he said.
With this Law, according to Jakupi prices will be balanced both within the country and in the region.
Under this bill the prices of drugs will first be harmonised with regional prices (which are lower) and then with the prices of drugs in the country from drugs to drugstores or even from country to country in the country because changes in cases are sygnifisant”, Jakupi said.
Due to high drug prices in Kosovo, Jakupi says patients lose 10m euros per year.
Kosovo under a Kosovo account, respectively, loses at least 10m euros a year from the highest prices in Kosovo”, he said of Front Online.
With approval of this bill in Government, Prime Minister Albin Kurti and Health Minister Arben Vitita have said that through this law, Kosovo will have one of the cheapest drug prices, and abuses will be avoided.
The regulation of the price of medicines takes place in all Western Balkan countries and the European Union. Currently, only Kosovo and Belarus on the European continent have no legislation for such a purpose.
