On November 17th the draft resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine was published for public discussion on the website of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. The resolution proposes to supplement the National List of Essential Medicines approved by Resolution of the Government No. 333 on March 25th, 2009, with new positions.
The project was developed in accordance with the recently adopted amendments to the Regulations on the National List of Essential Medicines and the Regulations on the Expert Committee on the Selection and Use of Essential Medicines.
Thus, the Expert Committee on the Selection and Use of Essential Medicines conducted an analysis of clinical efficacy and safety of medicinal products confirmed by evidence-based medicine (without pharmacoeconomic analysis) recommended for inclusion in the National List of Essential Medicines in the "fast-track" procedure. As a result of such work, it is proposed to supplement the National List with the following drugs:
1. 18 medicines included in the 20th edition of the World Health Organization's Model List of Medicines;
2. 28 drugs included in the state programs and subventions for inhalation drugs for anaesthesia;
3. 14 medicines that can be purchased for medical subventions for provision of emergency medical care, an exemplary record (list) for equipping the structural units of the emergency medical care system;
4. New forms and doses of medicines which are already available in the National List (as interchangeable).
After the approval of the draft resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, the National List in the revised edition will form basis for public procurement in 2018.
Subsequently, the National List will be supplemented with new positions based on applications of individuals and legal entities, in particular, holders of registration certificates, on the results of their consideration by the Expert Committee. Applications are accepted throughout the calendar year.
