Agency for Medicines Procurement to start operating in 2020 - Suprun

The National Strategic Agency for Medicines Procurement under state health programs will start operating in 2020.

Acting Health Minister Ulana Suprun stated this at a press conference in Kyiv, an Ukrinform correspondent reported.

"The year 2019 will be a transition, when the National Strategic Agency for Medicines Procurement takes over some state health programs. We expect that from 2020 medicines will be procured in Ukraine not by international organizations, but by the Ukrainian strategic agency," Suprun said.
