Ukraine is interested in localizing the production of innovative Japanese medicines in cooperation with Ukrainian pharmaceutical manufacturers.

According to Ukrinform, Health Minister Viktor Lyashko announced this on Facebook following a meeting with Japanese Ambassador to Ukraine Masashi Nakagome and his team.

“I am confident that our cooperation will only deepen. We have many potential areas that we are ready to develop. In particular, in the field of mental health and rehabilitation of veterans. Ukraine is also interested in localizing the production of innovative Japanese medicines in cooperation with Ukrainian pharmaceutical manufacturers and in cooperation with Japanese business in general,” he said.

Lyashko noted that Japan is “one of the most reliable and consistent partners” for Ukraine. He reminded that last year a Memorandum of Cooperation was signed between the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan, which outlined the main vectors of cooperation. According to him, effective cooperation has led to concrete results in the healthcare sector.

In addition, the medical institutions received 20 additional vehicles for primary care and 10 modern endoscopes.
