Ärzteschaft fordert EU-Strategie gegen Arzneimittel-Lieferengpässe — 69. Konsultativtagung der deutschsprachigen Ärzteorganisationen.

The medical profession is calling for an EU strategy against drug supply shortages. At the 69th Consultative Meeting of German-speaking medical organizations, a communiqué was adopted, highlighting the increasing gaps in medication supply in Europe. The relocation of pharmaceutical production facilities to Asia further exacerbates the situation.

The policy is urged to develop a strategy against dependence on Asian production facilities. [Extracted from the article]
