A new era in patients’ access to the so -called “expensive drugs” is launched by the Ministry of Health, as the Minister announced Adonis Georgiadispresenting the new arrangement for the home distribution of pharmaceuticals through EOPYY. The amendment has been included in the new Road Traffic Code (CO) bill and provides, among other things, the possibility of Receipt of drugs at home or from a neighborhood pharmacy.
What does the new provision of drug distribution provides
“Next week, the details of the distribution of EOPYY’s expensive drugs will be announced at the patient’s home or to declare his neighborhood pharmacy from which they wish to receive them,” Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis said in support of the arrangement of the amendment to the amendment to the AD.
Mr. Georgiadis explained the necessity of voting for this provision of this amendment in order to prevent the electronic recipe and the signature of the treating physician as well as the signature of the patient. In this regard, he said there is a gap of law as it is and is absurd on the one hand to send the drug to the patient’s home and he needs to go to EOPYY pharmacy to sign the electronic prescription.
The action of the home mission said by Mr. Georgiadis “is one of the main measures we have taken to reduce the queues of shame in EOPYY pharmacies”. At the same time, he noted that additional measures such as the electronic platform is taken to make an electronic appointment at EOPYY pharmacies to reduce queues, and 25 additional pharmacists have been hired to strengthen staff, but even with these measures there are many of our fellow citizens. Now, with the free distribution of home drugs, this hassle stops. The distribution company, the minister said, is not a courier company, but a company certified by the EOF for the safe transportation of medicines and now transporting EOPYY medicines to its drug stores.
Mr. Georgiadis, referring to the provisions of the new KOK, noted that the provision of compulsory helmet to drivers and two -wheeler passengers is very important as 9 of the ten incidents go to intensive traffic units are from non -helmet. The tightening of the relevant penalties as entered finds the Ministry of Health fully agreeing, helping to protect public health and enter into our lives a different perception of how we use two -wheeled vehicles that can be converted into deadly tools in the way we use them.
