Almyra Girdenienė, the director of Valerijonas, predicts that some of the drug costs will definitely turn into losses, because some drugs are so rare that no one is likely to buy them, the press release says.
“It just caught our eye then. I still hope to contact the State Health Insurance Fund and get to hear from us, to draw attention to the illogics of such an obligation. Otherwise, independent pharmacies should be listed in the Red Book quickly, and we simply won’t survive.

We will have to discard these drugs and take care of their disposal. It is not clear why suppliers cannot be forced to guarantee the necessary amount of drugs to national level, which allows pharmacies to order them when necessary, ”says the head of Valerijonas.
The division of responsibilities could also be a solution if the suppliers of non-purchased medicines take over and their suppliers are responsible for their elimination.

I want to continue meaningful and much-needed activities, I want you to listen, so as not to give up, “says A. Girdenienė.
