Russia still unable to solve problem of drug shortage in domestic market

Russia is still unable to solve a problem of a shortage of drugs in the domestic pharmaceutical market, while the current situation may further deteriorate in 2020, according to recent statements by some local pharma analysts and producers.

According to their predictions, the shortage of drugs in the Russian market will continue to grow this year, despite the status of the country as one of the world’s largest consumers of generics.

Recent data, published by some local analytic agencies show the volume of consumption of generics among the local citizens is almost 2.5 times higher than in the European Union.
