Monitoring drug prices. All drugs remain affordable to consumers

17 февраля 2021
Trade unions and senators continue to monitor  the drug prices. The Ministry of Health recommended reducing the VAT by 10% by lowering the trade mark-ups. Monitoring shows that  the Belarusian medicines are cheaper than their foreign analogues, at the same time they are not inferior in quality. And pharmacies offer advantageous discount programs. All drugs remain available to consumers.

The senators also control the cost of products on store shelves. By the end of the year the increase in prices of socially important goods should not exceed 4%-9%.
