Global majors oppose appointment of Rostec sole supplier of anti-HIV and TB drugs in Russia

28 July 2015

Rostec, a Russian state corporation which specializes in development, production and export of hi-tech industrial products for civil and defense sectors, plans to become the sole supplier of drugs for the treatment of HIV, tuberculosis and hepatitis for state needs this year, according to the company, reports The Pharma Letter’s local correspondent.

To date, Sergey Chemezov, head of Rostec, has already called on Russia’s President Vladimir Putin to approve the signing of an exclusive contract between the national government and the National immunobiological company (Natsimbio), a subsidiary of Rostec for the supplies of drugs for state needs. Mr Chemezov has also called for Natsimbio to be the only seller of blood products for state needs for the period up to 2025.
