The Government reviewed the interim results of the system of labelling and control of the movement of medicines. Representatives of the Ministry of Healthcare, SK Pharmacy and Kazakhtelecom attended the meeting chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Tamara Duisenova.

According to Deputy Minister of Healthcare Yerbol Ospanov, since the introduction of the system, medical institutions have taken more than 16.5 million medicines, and pharmacies - more than 21.5 million. At the same time, they sold about 12 million packages of medicines.

It is worth noting that the system of labelling and control of medicines allows remote tracking of the movement of each of the medicines produced or imported into the country online until they are completely removed from circulation.

"The main goal is to provide citizens with safe and quality medicines. Transparent control prevents counterfeit drugs from entering the circulation and creates conditions for the Ministry of Healthcare and local akimats to control the level of provision of medical institutions with medicines. I would also like to note that it allows us to monitor the targeted use of medicines. Therefore, using this mechanism to the maximum extent possible, it is necessary to take appropriate measures," Tamara Duisenova instructed.
