Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman wrote this on his Facebook page.
“The Affordable Medicine program: eight million patients have received drugs for free or with a small surcharge,” Groysman noted.
According to him, every third pharmacy in the country joined the program.
"UAH 1 billion was allocated for the program in 2018,” he added.
