Drug distributors have launched an information campaign against Yulia Tymoshenko over her investigation of corruption schemes. VSK under her leadership is preparing legislative changes to combat inflated prices for medicines.
The pharmaceutical mafia of distributors-intermediaries in the field of drug trade launched an information attack on the leader of "Batkivshchyna" Yulia Tymoshenko. The reason was her intentions to investigate schemes on the market.
This was written by an expert on economic and political issues, candidate of Sciences in public administration Yuri Gavrilechko on Facebook.
Now intermediaries earn billions of hryvnias on the diseases of Ukrainians, and of course they are not going to give up their profits
In his opinion, the information attack began right now not by chance. As you know, next Tuesday, the temporary investigative commission (VSK) headed by Yulia Tymoshenko will submit proposals for amendments to the legislation to the Verkhovna Rada.
The goal of the VSK is to break corruption schemes, restore order in the pharmaceutical industry and make it impossible to speculate on the prices of medicines. The first meeting of the investigative commission to investigate unreasonably high prices for medicines in Ukrainian pharmacies has already been held. According to the commission's calculations, the annual profit of intermediary companies may amount to more than UAH 10 billion," he adds. The expert is convinced that the reduction in drug prices is real. At least in the part of them that is related to the operation of corruption schemes in the market. "By breaking these schemes in the drug trade and giving people the opportunity to buy the necessary medicines outside of them, we will get fairer and more adequate prices for medicines
We will remind, earlier it was reported that the leader of the Batkivshchyna party Yulia Tymoshenko initiated the creation of a temporary investigative commission in the parliament, which should stop the corruption schemes of monopolists-intermediaries in the drug trade.
As you know, Tymoshenko stated that two intermediaries artificially created a monopoly on the drug trade in Ukraine. Because of this, some medicines are several times more expensive than their counterparts in the EU countries.
