What the notification says

This Order has been developed pursuant to clause 4 of the Section II of the Law of Ukraine No. 4239 of 12 February 2025 'On Amendments to Certain Laws of Ukraine Regarding the Peculiarities of State Registration of Medicines That Can Be Purchased by an Entity Authorized to Carry Out Procurement in the Healthcare Sector and on the Regulation of Certain Issues Related to the Sale of Medicines' and aims to improve the conditions for functioning of the national healthcare procurement system financed from the state budget and to ensure the consistency of the acts of the Ministry of Health with the legislation of Ukraine. The proposed amendments are intended to address practical issues related to the state registration of medicines through simplified procedures, facilitate expanded access of patients to new medicines eligible for procurement by the State Enterprise 'Medical Procurement of Ukraine' using state budget funds within the framework of healthcare programmes and centralized public health measures, and establish the legal conditions necessary to ensure the availability in Ukraine and the continuity of use of such medicines.
