Parliament will consider Draft
healthcare Laws on Apr 12
Ukrainian Parliament will hold
a thematic session to consider
Draft Laws in the sphere of
healthcare on Apr 12, the Speaker
Volodymyr Groysman said on Mar
28.
“I’m asking thw Apparatus of the
Parliament to process the list
of laws and positions on their
support for the next plenary
week,” Mr. Groysman said. “I would
also ask to connect associations
and learn the position of regional,
local councils on what should be
improved in healthcare.”
Previously, Parliamentary
Committee had approved the
Draft Law “On autonomation
of healthcare establishments”,
which is expected to start the
process of reformation of the
National healthcare system. The
Draft Laws on transplantation
and increase of wages to medical
workers are also to be considered
by deputies.
Parliamentary Committee rejected
the Draft Law to reduce drugs
prices
On Mar 30, during the meeting
of the Parliamentary Committee
of Public Health, the PMs
considered the Draft Law 1376
“On Amendments to the Tax
Code of Ukraine and some other
legislative acts of Ukraine (on
reducing prices on drugs).” The
document proposed to establish
extra charges for distributors and
retailers at the level of 3% and 5%,
respectively, for all medicines and
medical devices.
The Committee Members rejected
the Draft Law, stating that it is
contrary to current legislation.
Moreover, it could provoke the
extinction of many drugs on
the pharmaceutical market of
Ukraine. According to PM Irina
Sysoenko, the only way to solve
pricing issue is to implement
reimbursement mechanism.

development of new drug policy

is the provision of access to
drugs, containing narcotic and
psychotropic substances to
patients requiring them, the
Healthcare Minister Kvitashvili

to sell, is also essential, Mr.
