Russia - Rural health workers were allowed to sell medicines

Russia (bbabo.net), - Medical workers in the countryside were allowed to sell medicines. The corresponding changes to the legislation entered into force on January 1, 2022. According to the press service of the Ministry of Health, this will solve the problem of providing medicines to people who live in villages and villages without pharmacies - now they will not have to travel to neighboring villages or the regional center. Moreover, we are talking not only about the sale, but also about preferential dispensing of drugs.

"Medical workers in outpatient clinics, feldsher-obstetric stations and general medical practice centers located in rural settlements where there is no pharmacy organization will be able to carry out preferential dispensing of drugs, as well as sell drugs. Previously, only pharmaceutical workers could do this." said in a message from the Ministry of Health.

The procedure for issuing licenses to outpatient clinics, FAPs and general medical practice centers has also been significantly simplified. According to the innovations, simultaneous licensing of pharmaceutical and medical activities is allowed for such objects.

Health Minister Mikhail Murashko has already instructed the regions to speed up the licensing of rural FAPs and outpatient clinics under the new rules.
