Kiev. Ukraine. Ukraine Gate – January 13, 2021 – Health
The government must pass regulations by January 14 that will allow the sale of drugs online in Ukraine, as it is currently prohibited.
Innovation is necessary because unscrupulous entrepreneurs still sell drugs online, sometimes even using fraudulent schemes and counterfeit medicines. The chairman of committee on development of business of the Union of the Ukrainian businessmen Andrey Erashov told about it.
The fact is that medicines cannot be sold online, but the market is still there, unfortunately.
” People’s deputies, seeing this situation, tried to bring our legislation in line with European and protect our consumers from unscrupulous entities, because there were cases when drugs were falsified, ” – said Erashov.
How medicines will be transported?
The law stipulates that all postal operators involved in the project and carrying medicines must purchase special boxes in which medicines are transported.
“Legal business always adheres to current legislation and creates all conditions for people to receive quality medicines, not counterfeits or expired goods, ” – said Erashov.
The cost of delivery depends on the weight and the place where the medicine will be transported.
“As far as we know, the cost of delivery is from 23 hryvnias and reaches 35-37 hryvnias,” Yerashov said.
