Principle of agreement between the Government and laboratories for the prices of medicines

Feletti considered necessary “some kind of intervention ” by the State in this sector, understanding that “there cannot be essential consumption that does not have some degree of regulation.”

“We are going to see the state of the situation (of the medicines), but it seems to me that there has to be some kind of intervention because, if not, there is no income policy to be sustained,” said Feletti.

After these statements, the Argentine Chamber of Medicinal Specialties (Caeme), the Industrial Chamber of Argentine Pharmaceutical Laboratories (Cilfa) and the Business Chamber of Pharmaceutical Laboratories (Cooperala), the main entities that bring together the laboratories, said that “it is unnecessary to alter the rules of free competition, through price freezing mechanisms “.

Yesterday, Vizziotti and Feletti met to analyze the rise in drug prices in recent months and finish polishing the issues that will be put on the table in the discussion with the laboratories.

Feletti considered necessary “some type of intervention” on the part of the State in this sector, understanding that “there cannot be essential consumptions that do not have some degree of regulation”.

“We are going to see the state of the situation (of the medicines), but it seems to me that there has to be some kind of intervention because, if not, there is no income policy to be sustained”, dijo Feletti.

In this framework, the head of Internal Trade held a meeting with the head of PAMI, Luana Volnovich, because the official agency is the main buyer of medicines in the country and is considered a reference in terms of prices.

Through his account on the social network Twitter, Volnovich said that he shared “with Roberto Feletti the result of PAMI’s price regulation policies, with which we managed to keep drug prices below inflation.”
