Pharmacists are protesting again  - 1

And today, the pharmaceutical industry is preparing for a protest, BNT reported.

Between 9:00 a.m. and 9:30 a.m., pharmacies throughout the country will not be filling prescriptions for the health insurance fund, and as a warning, pharmacy owners will submit notices to the Regional Health Insurance Funds to terminate contracts with the NHIF.

The discontent is because of the planned changes to the regulation, which provides that all the drugs of one patient will be transferred to one prescription.

Until now, doctors could write up to three drugs per prescription, for which pharmacies received a processing fee for each. According to the pharmacists, the changes will lead to bankruptcies.
