The Ministry of Health granted preliminary approvals to open 35 new local pharmaceutical factories, while launching a new package of instructions for implementing contracts with good vision, and granting an establishment license.
The Minister of Health, Dr. Saleh Al-Hasnawi, told Al-Sabah: The manufacture of medicine is one of the priorities of the government program within the economic axis, and its importance lies in the localization of the national industry, indicating that the localization project includes the manufacture of medicines, medical supplies and devices.
He stressed that facilities are being provided to drug manufacturers related to permits for opening factories, granting final licenses, and customs facilities for entering raw materials, and contracting with the Ministry of Health in terms of prices and purchasing the national product.
Al-Hasnawi stated that it was approved to support the pharmaceutical industries within the pharmaceutical localization project and work to localize them locally, including 202 therapeutic items, the most important of which are cancer treatments that were previously imported for thousands of dollars from solid foreign origins, and to increase their local production rates to 40 percent.
He disclosed the number of initial approvals to open new local pharmaceutical factories, which amounted to 28 new pharmaceutical factories, while the number of factories that were granted establishment permits reached four, and three others were granted final opening permits.
The Minister of Health confirmed that his ministry worked to provide medicines, medical supplies and devices, and regulate the pharmaceutical market, as the total number of available medicines reached 1,108 types, concluding 327 foreign contracts for medicines, and 694 contracts produced by local factories, while contracts for medical supplies reached 111 contracts. 85 contracts were concluded for portable and non-portable devices, 14 for the purchase of dialysis devices, and 37 for the purchase of laboratory equipment.
He explained that in the project to regulate the circulation of medicines and medical supplies for the private sector, the first phase of the drug pricing and tracking program for the private sector was launched by installing a barcode on each treatment item to control pricing differences and smuggling medicines and drugs.
Al-Hasnawi pointed out that the number of medicines in the private sector subject to examination reached seven thousand doses, revealing that 20 thousand pharmaceutical substances were brought into the National Center for Drug Control for the purpose of examination, of which 55 percent passed the examination and were circulated, and 45 percent of them were not circulated.
He stated that the ministry faced major administrative, economic and anti-corruption challenges, and corruption operations appeared in purchasing and contractual processes and the need for amendment, noting that his ministry is continuing in the Council of Ministers to launch a new package of contract implementation instructions with good vision from the government, indicating that the health system that is suffering from faltering, Needs a period of time to get over it.
