our immunity, then only the state can regulate the numbers in it, which is what it does. belarus has returned to reference pricing for medicines. referential means serving to correlate with something, to bind to something. in this case, reference pricing is setting a price for a product based on how much it costs in countries with economies, give or take, similar to ours. in a situation with medications. the ministry of health has compiled a list of drugs that belarusians most often use, and the council of ministers has ordered: selling prices for these drugs cannot be set higher than the state allows. the list can be found in council of ministers resolution no. 444 of july 6 , 2023. it slightly changed the list of 776 decree of 2018. you can google both, you will end up with the same list.
12:48 pm
it contains 37 positions, for example, besoprolol and amplodepine, they lower blood pressure, acetylsalicylic acid and buprofen (anti-inflammatory drugs). and here there is an important nuance: the list does not indicate the names of the drugs, but the active ingredients on the basis of which the drugs are made. there are about 900 drugs containing these active ingredients in belarus; suppliers can now buy them from manufacturers only at a price ranging from... now let’s talk about how prices for such drugs are formed so that the process was transparent and understandable, our ministry of antimonopoly regulation, henceforth we will call it march, created instructions on the methodology for calculating maximum selling prices of manufacturers for medicines. it says that the price of the medicine is based on its average cost on the belarusian market in the last 6 months and its price in fourteen other countries. 13 of them are the same countries with
12:49 pm
economic systems similar to ours, their list is permanent, it is approved along with instructions on the methodology for calculating prices for medicines, this design application number four. the list includes belgium, bulgaria, hungary, greece, kazakhstan, latvia, lithuania, poland, russia, romania, slovakia, france and the czech republic. the fourteenth country is always the state in which the drug is produced. in practice it all looks like this. the manufacturer or his representative decides to sell a medicine in belarus, for example, made in india, they look at what active substance it contains and check whether it is on the list of the new version 776 of the savmin's resolution, they find it there, which means they need agree with the state on the price at which it can be purchased for belarus. if the drug has already been sold on our market before, they take its average purchase price in the last 6 months, for example, it is 20 rubles
12:50 pm
per 10 g. then they look at what price the manufacturer sells it to 13 countries from the approved list in india itself. add up these 14 indicators and divide by 14. you get the average selling price of the drug in the reference countries, for example, it is 22 rubles per 10 g. then the average price of the drug on the belarusian market for the last half a year is added to the average price of reference markets, in our example it is 20 + 22 and the arithmetic average is derived, that is , the result is divided by two, you get 21 rubles for 10 g of the drug. this figure becomes the price ceiling at which you can buy the medicine. manufacturer for the belarusian market. no, the fact is that drug manufacturers do not sell them directly to pharmacies. they work with pharmacy companies that have everything for receiving, transporting, storing and shipping drugs. the batch is being bought from the belarusian

or a foreign manufacturer. in belarus, they bring it to the supplier’s warehouse, and from there they sell it or simply deliver it to pharmacies. in this case, the supplier works as an intermediary and bears the costs. teaches them to recapture and make a profit, therefore he adds wholesale and retail markups to the price paid for the medicine to the manufacturer, they make up about 35% of the cost of the drug, you can’t put markups on the price because of the ear, the process of setting prices for medicines is like from a special list in demand, so everyone else, strictly regulates presidential decree no. 366, on the formation of prices for medicines, medical products and medical equipment. it states that the maximum wholesale markup can be 9% of the price of the drug, the maximum retail markup can be 30%. at the same time, the more expensive the medicines, the lower the markup should be, and here pharmacy retailers need to put together the pricing puzzle in such a way that it is beneficial for their pharmacy clients. imported
12:52 pm
medicines are always more expensive, because the supplier includes not only maintaining warehouses, transport specialists, well, the costs of delivery from abroad and customs costs. there are wholesale companies for which this task is easier than for others, because they own their own pharmacy chain, for example, belformacea and medvax, and also interfarmax, unipharm and vitvar. the maximum permissible prices for the purchase of medicines for the belarusian market are agreed not for the supplier, but for the manufacturer; whoever wants to sell his medicine to the market of our country here will be able to sell it only at a price i agree. march, if the manufacturer decides that it is time to increase the price, he or his representatives will have to go through the entire procedure for agreeing on the selling price of the drug again in march. the pharmaceutical market is a space where
12:53 pm
seemingly incompatible phenomena are intertwined in an unusual way in a 50x50 proportion: concern for people and the thirst for profit. many players in this market understand that people’s lives depend on their work, no matter what is happening in the world. trying to deliver medicines to consumers. in addition, for the chance to restore health, each of us at a critical moment is ready to give everything. pharmaceutical companies know this; they did not spend millions of dollars creating and developing their production in order to lose profitable markets. therefore , as a rule, manufacturers and their representatives are also interested in agreeing on the selling price of drugs. they themselves apply to the march of belarus to obtain the right to sell their products here. agree on maximum selling prices for medications for the belarusian market back in alexander lukashenko ordered the year 2018. the president saw that the quality of life of belarusians depended on this segment of trade and did not consider it possible to let pricing in it take its course. then the new scheme worked,
12:54 pm
drug prices dropped, the market became transparent, and competition on it was healthy. but 2020 came and coronavirus. they went into deep quarantine. entire countries, borders were closed, supply chains were broken, the supply of medical drugs was already under threat, it was impossible to delay them by agreeing on selling prices, thousands of people could not getting the necessary medicines on time, so the president canceled the mandatory price negotiations for smart medicines, the priority became high speed rather than low delivery prices. the storm has passed: “we have emerged from the coronavirus hell and straightened our shoulders under the onslaught of sanctions.” in april of this year, the head of state. ordered the return of reference pricing for drugs; drug manufacturers and their representatives must agree on prices for their products from the savmin list by december 1. this move will again comb the medical drug market if not to reduce, but to stabilize their prices.
12:55 pm
the cost of the same drug in different pharmacies in belarus can fluctuate within 70 rubles. the difference is huge, but most often there are no violations of the law here. it’s just that pharmacy chains could give away the drug at a discount, for example, for purchasing a large batch or because a fresh supply arrived in time, and the old one was sitting in warehouses. before you buy an expensive medicine, you should find it. on the sites tablet byy or 103 byy, there is information about the highest and lowest price about it in your locality and throughout the country, but march accepts complaints from those who are still confused by the cost of the drug and checks each case separately. saving on medicines begins in childhood, when no one smokes or drinks in the child’s home, and thus adults lay a behavior program in the child by their own example, when on weekends... the family goes to the skating rink or to the pool, instead of in a dubious company, drinking drinks of dubious
