Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman says Government will manage to ensure drug stocks in 2017.
He stated this on ICTV on Monday, the government's press service reports.
Government in the budget for 2017 increased spending on the purchase of medicines by UAH 2 billion - to UAH 5.9 billion compared with 2016, the prime minister noted.
