In neighborhood pharmacies, the expensive medicines of EOPY and hiring pharmacists after the do Georgiadis with locksmith

Measures to stop the inconvenience of insured persons in his pre-announced by the Minister of Health, . Cause the unprecedented incident with the closed pharmacy on Alexandra Avenue that opened after his own intervention with a locksmith! CORVERSE The Minister of Health, Adonis Georgiadis, is geared towards the implementation of three specific measures to put an end to the suffering of patients in EOPY’s pharmacies: Disposal of the Physicians (High Cost Farms) from neighborhood pharmacies Recruitment of pharmacists to the EOPY and Extension of the Disposal of Medicines at Home Speaking to the SPS – ICM, the Minister of Health emphasizes that he personally commits himself to not allowing it to happen again. “I want to apologize sincerely to the people who have suffered for no reason today, but also to all the insured people who are suffering daily waiting in the queues of the OOPY clinics to receive their medicines,” the Minister points out. CORVERSE Referring to the solutions he thinks overall, Adonis Georgiadis points out that he has already drawn up a plan on how to reduce the queues to half and in the next few days will make official announcements. “As it is known, the OOPY pharmacies are administered so-called high-cost drugs (SMEs). These are very expensive treatments, involving serious chronic diseases, such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, medicines whose patients cannot obtain them from their neighborhood pharmacies. So one of the scenarios we’re working on is that the OOPY pharmacies cooperate with the neighborhood pharmacies. However, this legislation will not apply to all preparations, but will clarify which ones will be accessible to patients from pharmacies and which diseases will concern, assessing the “model” that operated during the pandemic,” the Minister of Health reveals to the APE. All my efforts at this time as Minister of Health, are how I will make my fellow citizens’ lives easier, he points out and adds: “I never tried to hide the problems under the carpet and I won’t do it now. Instead, I am here to find a solution to put an end to this world’s suffering.” In progress the competition for the transport of medicines directly to patients’ homes A priority for the ministry and a central axis in the effort that is being made is to better serve the patient and the people who care for him, continues Adonis Georgiades, stressing that “we will proceed to additional recruitment of pharmacists in EOPY, while in progress is the competition for the transport of medicines directly to the patients’ homes. Already, since March 2024, pilot distribution to cystic fibrosis sufferers, pulmonary hypertension, seaemia (mediterranean anemia), sickle cell anemia and motor neuron disease has begun, while within 2025 it will be extended to even more insured people.” Earlier this morning, as the minister himself had revealed by talking to ERT, a patient who knew him personally, called him and said: “”Sir Minister, what is happening now in the pharmacy of EOPY Alexandra is unacceptable. I am waiting here for the time” . On the spot went the Vice President of EOPY Mr. Zamanis, the Director General Mr. Litsa and other associates. However, another issue arose: the pharmacy door was locked and the keys were held by the missing employees. We had to bring a locksmith to open the door,” said A. Georgiades. “After our intervention, we gathered patient recipes and started the service process. While we waited, we offered coffee to the people they were waiting for, although this of course does not undo the inconvenience they suffered,” he continued. ‘The responsibilities will be examined and, if necessary, penalties imposed’ The incident, as he said, will be fully investigated. It is not common for three employees to be absent at the same time without information. Responsibility will be examined and, if necessary, penalties will be imposed. “ What happened was embarrassing and unacceptable. I personally went to the point to show that I understand the size of the problem. However, the solution is not only to direct intervention, but to the creation of an effective system,” the Minister of Health said in the morning. The response of the Panhellenic Pharmaceutical Association At the same time, the Panhellenic Pharmaceutical Association in an announcement points out that “on the occasion of the suffering of the world in the OOPY pharmacies, the current, unprecedented action of the Minister of Health confirms the magnitude of the problem which has now taken such dimensions, which make it necessary and necessary to find a solution, as the Panhellenic Pharmaceutical Association has repeatedly highlighted.” The CPMP emphasises that the suffering of these vulnerable groups in absolute need of their medicine is not addressed by the existing framework for the distribution of these drugs by the OOPY pharmacies, but also by the use of the ready network of 11,000 pharmacies, with uniform distribution and dispersion across the territory. “At last the government’s positions and announcements for “High Cost Farms from the neighborhood pharmacy” in order to avoid suffering vulnerable groups of patients, must immediately be done. What is important, exclusively, is to protect and ensure the dignity of patients,” the announcement concludes.
