The important role played by the Pharmaceutical Services of the Ministry of Health in the operation of the GESY was praised by the Minister of Health, Dr. Popi Kanari, during her visit to the Department of Pharmaceutical Services.
In her remarks, the Minister noted that she is particularly sensitive to issues related to the pharmaceutical sector, as she had the opportunity to gain first-hand knowledge of issues related to the control, quality, safety and prices of medicines during her tenure at the State General Chemistry Department.
During the visit, issues related to the upgrading of the services offered by the pharmaceutical services through the GESY and other issues such as the establishment of the Independent Pharmaceutical Authority and the issue of the Nominating Committee were discussed. Also discussed was the very important issue of the introduction of innovative medicines, many of which, as Dr. Kanari pointed out, have not yet been included in the OAY list. "It is something we wish to happen as soon as possible in order for every patient to have access to innovative medicines and treatments," she added.
