The Ministry of Health is proposing several concrete measures to guarantee access by the public to vital medication. The measures envisage a change in the formula prohibiting the export of some medicines, the cost of which is covered entirely or partially by the National Health Insurance Fund.

At a press conference on the measures against the medicines shortages, Minister of Health Assen Medjidiev explained that the ban will be imposed if the quantities available in the country drop below 100%, and added that medicines dealers will be sanctioned, including by terminating the functioning of commercial establishments. The inspections by the Bulgarian Drug Agency continue.
