A scandal in the pharmaceutical supply in the big company: bug on your computer – life danger

Drug supply fault in Israel: The Knesset Health Committee on Monday discussed the supply of patients to patients, following reports that have been in more than two weeks that there is no supply of drugs to the pharmacies in Israel – and the shortage may last until Sunday and maybe even beyond.

The reason for the malfunction is Novologist, the exclusive distribution of all types of pharmaceuticals of the multinational pharma companies, which announced beyond new management software and stopping all orders for 12 days. The problem is that even now, after the supply was supposed to be renewed, the company did not provide the orders that were supposed to supply, and the pharmacies fear that even on Sunday, the supply will not be redeemed as required by software faults.

The hearing was also reported that in many private pharmacies there were individual packs of drugs and even a point in the full of drugs. From insulin and ADHD to vaccines, malaria, chemotherapy, cholesterol or hypertension drugs.

Aviad BossiCEO of the Novologist Group, claimed that glitches were discovered in operating the new computing system, which he said in the next two weeks the supply will be stabilized-also to hospitals. “The nature of the current event is uncertainty, it is not one bug.”

Rabbi Baruch LiebermanCEO of “Medical Medicine” told of tear-hearted inquiries, while Dr. Sharon Hovav of the “Clalit” logistics division emphasized that the fund was prepared to increase inventory in advance before the system was replaced, but there is still a lack of special or rare drugs .

“This is a significant impairment of the health and quality of life of patients who remain unanswered,” said committee chairman, “said MK Yoni Midwak“The Ministry of Health must act to draw conclusions and strengthen the mechanisms that will also ensure an effective response in cases of operational changes.”

The Pharmacy Organization in Israel said in response that “unfortunately, the reports heard at the Knesset Health Committee on improving difficulties in a regular supply of drugs in the face of a malfunction that happened at Novologist are inconsistent with reports received from the field. We see a lack of drugs in the field. To handle repair immediately and prepare for the future to come. Ourselves on the repetition of the event we experience in recent days. The Pharmacy Organization in Israel rejected the allegations heard at the Knesset Health Committee on the impact that would be created in view of the opening of the drug distribution market for competition for drug prices. “We believe that there is no effect on drug prices not only because of the market opening for further competition, but also because the total distribution prices of the overall drug cost are marginal.”
