Ministry of Health starts medicine distribution for oncology patients

The Ministry of Health started issuing medicines for patients diagnosed with cancer. Beneficiaries of the state healthcare program will receive the needed amount of Swiss-produced medications for free.

The agency purchased 13 medicines for oncology diseases from the leading pharmaceutical company, Roche [Ministry signed a contract with Roche in November 2023 and continues negotiations with other leading pharmaceutical companies to make medicines more accessible for Georgian patients].

Besides, the agency has broadened the range of medications available for chronic illnesses and has allocated a larger budget to the program. This will enable up to 400,000 individuals to receive full financial coverage for their chronic disease treatments.
