Now, residents of 80 settlements in the region will be able to receive the medicines they need for treatment, including under the state program "Affordable Medicines," i.e. free of charge or with a small surcharge. I hope for an active position and involvement of other pharmacy market players in this initiative in different regions of Ukraine. It is very important to combine the efforts of the government and business to ensure the availability of medicines
Addendum
The agency emphasizes that mobile pharmacies can dispense both prescription and over-the-counter medicines, and the assortment will be determined by the licensee. All prescription drugs will be sold exclusively on prescription, both paper and electronic.
At the same time, the sale of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and precursors is prohibited in mobile pharmacies. It is also noted that mobile pharmacies will operate in the form of a vehicle and exclusively in rural areas where there are no stationary pharmacy outlets.
The license conditions set out clear requirements for the establishment of mobile pharmacies. In particular, the vehicle must bear the inscription "mobile pharmacy" on its outer surfaces and information about its affiliation with a particular licensee (pharmacy, pharmacy chain, or other entities holding the relevant licenses). The vehicle must have a cash register, refrigeration equipment, temperature and humidity control
