At the beginning of the week, the Director General of the Ministry of Health summoned the Novologist’s management to the meeting, under which the company updated the actions taken to close the gap in the drug supply. The entire distribution chain, information systems and more.
Remember, about a week ago, the Knesset Health Committee held a special discussion following the severe disruptions at Novologist, the exclusive distribution of all types of pharmaceuticals of the multinational pharma, 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 discussion reported that many private pharmacies remained in a single pharmaceutical packs and even dismays in the full of drugs. From insulin and ADHD to vaccines, malaria, chemotherapy, cholesterol or hypertension drugs. Participants in the hearing have shown concerns that thousands of Israelis, including chronic patients and cancer patients, may remain without drug treatment due to the many failures in the supply.
