"In 2016, our countries signed an agreement regarding cooperation in ensuring access to medicines for patients. The agreement hasn't been implemented and we propose to resume the negotiations and improve certain texts of this document. More than that, we want that the collaboration memorandum in the healthcare and medical science field, which is dates back to 1996, be updated," stated Pintea, according to a press release sent by the Health Ministry.
The Minister of Health from Bulgaria agreed with the Romanian side's proposals and a working group made of experts will start to work on modifications, specified the abovementioned source.
"Collaboration in the medicines field could start in the end of th first quarter of 2019, after the implementation of the new insurance system that the Bulgarian Ministry of Health prepares. The two officials also discussed about the reform of the health insurance system, the one to be carried out under emergency, which was started in Bulgaria. Upon the request of the Bulgarian side, the Ministry of Health is making available the Romanian legislation on the functioning of the emergency system," reads the release.
