Promese to reduce medicine costs

[NewsWhore]

As from March 1, 94 different types of medicines sold by the Essential Medicines Program (Promese) will be available at a reduced price. The reductions will be worth between 16% and 34%. Promese director Elena Fernandez made the announcement during a meeting with the Executive Commission for Health Sector Reform (CERSS) head Gustavo Rojas. During the meeting CERSS and Promese signed an agreement with the Dominican Journalists Association (CDP) and the Dominican Medical Association (CMD). Fernandez said that drugs like insulin, antibiotics and analgesics would be subject to price reductions. Fernandez clarified that products that are not subject to reductions would not be increased either.
