PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES COMPLAIN ABOUT SET PAYMENTS FOR DRUGS

March 17, 2006

The International Association of Pharmaceutical Companies (MAFS) today criticised the way in which the coverage of medicines' costs from the health insurance is set, or the categorisation of medicines, as non-transparent and against the EU legislation, the MASF told CTK today. The European Commission demanded last year that the Czech Republic changed the process of categorisation.
