the Real distribution of forces is different. OTC medicines, Russia supplies mainly from Europe, however, the major suppliers of substances for their production – India and China. They account for almost 96% of the substances purchased by Russia, 80% they occupy in Europe and 90% in the US, said Deputy Chairman of the RF CCI Committee for entrepreneurship in healthcare and medical industry Valery Coast. When China was a crisis, the whole world felt it myself. Russia needs to Fund fundamental research in the field of production of medicines, said Coast.
the same question applies to medical devices. Like many other countries, Russia has restricted the export of masks, respirators, disinfectants and other healthcare products. However, there is still a shortage of this product in the sale.
to Require pharmacies to ensure the availability of hygienic masks offers the Ministry of industry and trade – said on the air “Russia 24” the Deputy head of the Ministry of industry and trade Viktor Evtukhov, noting that pharmacies are reluctant to purchase such an item.
Masks and medical devices Russia mainly imports. It is necessary to normalize internal procedures, said the Chairman of the Association of importers and exporters of healthcare Dmitry Omutnaya. Now the deadline for receipt of registration certificate for import of medical products was reduced to 3 days, however, the de facto procedure still takes up to a week or more.
