The MoH issued a draft order on reference pricing for medicines
On April 9, the Ministry of Health of Ukraine published a draft order "On certain issues of reference pricing for medicines included in the National List of Essential Medicines and procured using budget funds". The document was developed in pursuance of the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine "On reference pricing for some medicines procured using budget funds", adopted by the Government last week.
Recall that from July 1, 2019, Ukraine will introduce state regulation of prices for some INNs that are included in the National List of Essential Medicines. For such INNs, which will be procured using budget funds, the Ministry of Health will establish marginal wholesale prices. Drugs the cost of which will exceed such prices can not be procured at the expense of the state.
The draft order is proposed to approve:
- Procedure for forming the List of Medicinal Products included in the National List of Essential Medicines, and for which the maximum wholesale prices are set;
- The procedure for calculating the maximum wholesale prices for medicinal products contained in the List of Medicinal Products included in the National List of Essential Medicines and for which the maximum wholesale prices are set.
