Grand pass for medication: Genericry association warns of supply problems!

At the annual general assembly of the Austrian Generic Association (OEGV), Dr. Wolfgang Andiel again elected President. This is his fifth term in this key position, which is of central importance for the advocacy of the generic manufacturers in Austria. Andiel praised the new government and emphasized the need to create sustainable competitive conditions in order to secure the availability of essential medication. "Without adjustments to the price formation, there is a risk of further a shortage of offer," he warned, while pointing out the alarming number of around 20 drugs per month, which falls from the reimbursement code, including vital drugs such as pain relievers and diabetes preparations. The current pricing and financing problem endanger the security of care for patients enormously, according to the President's concern.

At the meeting, the Vice President, Mag. Elgar Schnegg von Teva/Ratiopharm and Dr. Gerhard Klinger by Genericon Pharma, and Dr. Martin Spatz from Stada confirmed as secretary. The new presentation of the Accord Healthcare company as a member underlines the growing community of pharmaceutical producers who work for high -quality and inexpensive generics. The OEGV, which sees itself as a merger of nine generic producers, pursues the goal of not only informing the public about the advantages of generics, but also actively helping to shape health policy debates. According to the Andiel, the cooperation with the government in relation to reform discussions on the generic reimbursement is of central importance in order to cope with the challenges of the industry, which are additionally reinforced by rising costs and tightened regulatory requirements.

The shortage of medication and the inflation of regulatory conditions are evident risks for security of supply in Austria. Andiel urged that if there is no change in pricing mechanisms, patient care will be further jeopardized. "We need predictable framework conditions. It is time that we responsible in politics offer our support in order to proactively address the challenges," he added. The Austrian Generalic Association is committed to a constructive discussion about the necessary measures in the healthcare system so that healthy competition can continue to be guaranteed, and confirms its commitment to offer high -quality medicinal products at fair prices.
