The liquidation of the State Service of Medicines and the creation of the Ukrainian Pharmaceutical Agency (UPA) may be postponed until at least July 2027, - writes EP.
The main reasons for the delay were concerns about a personnel shortage and the risk of a market collapse. In addition, there is backstage infighting within the agency over the position of UPA head.
Under the plan, about 70% of the new agency’s budget is to be financed by annual fees from the pharmaceutical business itself — pharmacies, distributors, and manufacturers. However, this model has met with resistance from the market.
The state was supposed to liquidate the State Service of Medicines by 1 January 2027.
