French Minister of Health, François Bron, said that there is a shortage of essential drugs in the country. It has been reported DEA News.
“A number of drugs are limited in supply and their stocks are getting smaller and smaller. They cannot be found in any pharmacy. It won’t be more than that. “We’re launching a plan to counter critical drug shortages that people can’t live without.”
Bron added that the government is currently working on a list of essential drugs. From now on, the Ministry of Health plans to follow all stages of their production to check the availability of drugs in pharmacies.
In addition, stocks of paracetamol and amoxicillin, whose consumption is traditionally increased during the winter season, will be built up until next winter.
Currently, most drug components are imported to France from China, India and the USA. By 2030, French President Emmanuel Macron has ordered that the country be completely independent in terms of drug production.
