Adnkronos (Adnkronos) – "Italy is a country that pays close attention to regulations, and this is a prime example. Therefore, the approval of the Consolidated Law reforming pharmaceutical legislation goes in the direction Cittadinanzattiva has always hoped for: that of bringing order to a series of fragmented regulations that, however, must obviously benefit patients, transforming them into concrete access."
Maria Vitale, head of Health Programs at Cittadinanzattiva, said this during her speech at the event "The Future of Pharmaceutical Legislation: A Systemic Vision," organized by Nuove Reti in Rome.
“In the concrete experience of citizens and patients, medicines are not always made available promptly or appropriately, either in terms of timing or proximity, consistent with treatment needs.
This regulation certainly goes in this direction, where proximity is not only geographical, but also relational, with professionals throughout the entire supply chain,” he added.
A reorganization of drug prescribing, distribution, and dispensing that is closer to the citizen "will benefit all people with chronic diseases, but also those who live far from large urban centers, where the pharmacy may represent the first, or perhaps the only, healthcare facility.
It is therefore expected that, in some way, this reorganization will make access to medicines more accessible and timely,” he concluded.
