The ban on the export of insulin, blood sugar-lowering drugs and antibiotics for children will be extended until 31 January 2024, according to a decree issued today by Health Minister Hristo Hinkov. Until that date, inspections of stocks in wholesalers' warehouses will be carried out. The export of these drugs was banned at the beginning of November, when more than 180 patients with diabetes sent a letter to the institutions, indicating a systemic shortage of two types of insulin in the pharmacy network. Despite the current ban, patients from smaller towns are still having difficulty finding the insulin they need, Elitsa Sirakova, the mother of a child with diabetes, told BNR. The information was provided by BNR reporter Elena Beykova.
