Easier Access to Free Medicines, New Pharmacy and Vaccination Rules.
This law introduces changes to facilitate access to free medicines for relatives of authorized persons and expands pharmacists' ability to issue prescriptions for vaccines. It also sets new rules for pharmacy duties and the financing of access to innovative drug therapies. The goal is to improve healthcare and medicine accessibility for citizens.
Key points
Free medicines for relatives: Authorized individuals (e.g., doctors) can issue free prescriptions for themselves, spouses, cohabiting partners, and relatives for refunded medicines.
New pharmacy duty rules: Pharmacies that fail to perform designated duties must return received remuneration, unless due to force majeure or unforeseen circumstances, provided relevant authorities are notified.
Vaccinations in pharmacies: Pharmacists can issue prescriptions for vaccines administered in pharmacies, including for patient groups entitled to free services.
Financing innovative drugs: The National Health Fund will finance drugs under "emergency access to drug technologies," receiving subsidies from the Medical Fund for this purpose.
Support for medical facilities: Rules for granting financial resources and subsidies to healthcare providers have been changed, including a requirement for a positive opinion for investments.
