Pharmacists are more united

Truly we live in an era of abundance. Whole lot and become even more. For example, various associations and organizations. Only that we have yet another - region-wide pharmaceutical league. Region-wide - it sounds is not too well, but not in the name of the case. Case in pharmaceuticals, ie drugs that are needed by literally everyone. In medicine, as in everything else, there is no deficit. The deficit only in money. But drugs continue to rise in price. This is a problem we face every time they come to the chemist (pharmacy, incidentally, is also abundant and becomes more and more).
But the pharmaceutical industry and many other problems not visible to the consumer. This was discussed at the Congress of Russian pharmaceutical workers. Congress was called first, though, I remember, it was a lot of them before. Obviously, this Congress is expected to begin a new era (just could not take a decision to begin a new life with Monday).
Pharmacy's still a wild market - business profitable, attracts many applicants. Among the people who want not only with expertise, as energetic. Not all have special education. Obviously, the league will ensure that the pharmacies employed professional pharmacists and pharmacists. Maybe this will at least some safeguard against that is not expired Provisional Government, and even knows where and who manufactured the drug. The problem of fakes also remains and even becomes more acute. But something strange: a fake so many works Interagency Group, created Farminspektsiyu aware that forgeries are produced by domestic enterprises, promised to bring counterfeiters to justice, even to prosecute, but none so until the end and not brought. Now that's the league doing it.
In the country there is also the Union of professional pharmaceutical organizations, uniting producers (both domestic and foreign) and distributors. We asked one of its initiators Igor Rudinsky, General Manager of the SIA-International), to explain the difference between a region-wide pharmaceutical league from this union.
- The Union of professional pharmaceutical organizations are only legal persons, that is, organizations working in the pharmaceutical market, and members of the league can be both physical and legal persons. While the founding congress was held only leagues. We will certainly cooperate with them. Our review boards met each other and will develop joint programs. Alone, do something difficult. We  have common interests: the creation of a civilized pharmaceutical market. Any association - positive phenomenon. The pharmaceutical market is quantitatively formed. Medicines have any and in any quantity. But qualitatively the market is not formed. It is to be done. This will benefit first and foremost a consumer, that is the one who comes to the pharmacy. League supported the Ministry of Health and the State Duma. With the participation of several ministries and agencies is preparing a law on social health insurance. It is based on the principle of accumulation, and some resources will go to drugs. This is a promising business. Because pricing is determined not distributor and manufacturer. If the activities of the league, like all other associations, will be consistent with the declared purposes, the consumers of drugs waiting for greater stability. There will be a spread of prices, such markups.
