The Minister of Health, Alexandru Rogobete, announced the signing of the partnership agreement with the National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices to launch the CAPRICORD project, through which the authorities responsible for setting prices and reimbursement of medicines from 12 European countries work together to improve the way these decisions are made.
"Today we signed the partnership agreement with the National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices of Romania for the launch of the CAPRICORD Grant Agreement, a joint action financed by the EU4Health program, with the support of the European Commission, through HADEA, and coordinated by NEAK Hungary. The Romanian Ministry of Health is the beneficiary of this grant, which starts this month and will run for a period of three years," Rogobete wrote on Facebook on Tuesday.
According to the minister, through CAPRICORD, the authorities responsible for setting prices and reimbursement of medicines from 12 European countries are working together to improve the way these decisions are made, this being an approach of European cooperation, to increase transparency.
"For the patient, this project means clearer rules, easier-to-understand decisions and solutions better adapted to medical realities. It means that the patient's voice and the experience of healthcare professionals matter more when deciding whether a medicine is reimbursed, under what conditions and for whom," the Minister of Health pointed out.
At the same time, says Alexandru Rogobete, European cooperation offers national authorities common tools to better manage "uncertainties", especially in the case of innovative therapies or orphan drugs, where evidence is limited and pressure on budgets is high.
