Health Ministry signs contract to procure medicines using 2017 budget funds
Ukraine's Health Ministry has signed contracts to procure medicines and medical products using the 2017 national budget funds with three international organizations.
Acting Health Minister Ulana Suprun said at a press conference in Kyiv on Thursday that the contracts for UAH 5.9 billion were signed with the organizations which have already taken part in public procurement – the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), UNICEF and Britain's Crown Agents.
Suprun said that 98% of medicines, vaccines and medical products have been procured using 2016 budget funds, and 57% of them have been delivered and 44% have been distributed among the regions.
"When we saw old procurement lists we saw out-of-date medicines and the wrong distribution of funds for medicines," she said.
Suprun also said that it is hard to compile information about the needs in medicines from the regions.
