National Stockpiles Affect Medicine Access in Some EU Countries
Medicines for Europe shared on LinkedIn:
”Fragmented national stockpiling policies are making essential medicines harder to access in some EU countries, extending shortages and exposing our internal market.
In Germany, a 6-month stockpile equals almost 2 years’ supply for the Netherlands. Uncoordinated stockpiling risks destabilizing smaller markets and reducing treatment availability in other regions.
For example, 70% of companies have observed longer stockout periods and reduced availability of medicines in smaller markets, due to stockpiling requirements.
We need a unified approach to ensure timely and equal access for patients, as well as robust supply chains based on proportionate measures and EU solidarity.
Check out our report to learn more.”
