New medical masks, gloves and equipment in Russia can rise in price due to the increase in the cost of services of laboratories, where they are tested for registration in Roszdravnadzor. It is reported by the newspaper “Vedomosti”.
As explained by the head of the manufacturer of medical equipment, tools and consumables ApexMed Rashid Bictogolov, checking in laboratories is part of obtaining registration for medical products: technical and biological studies of products are carried out.
Since July 2021, prices for services of some laboratories have greatly increased. If, at the beginning of the year, such a study for one honeyzatria accounted for 300 thousand rubles, then by October it rose by almost 4.5 times – to 1.3 million. As the general director of the Consulting Firm “Regmedical” Evgeny Alekhin explained, the growth of the cost of services is associated with the fact that on January 1, 2022, Roszdravnadzor complicates the rules and starts to register Medizatiya only according to the rules of the Eurasian Economic Union (EES).
In early December, it became known that due to the reduction of demand for drugs from consumers caused by the restrictive measures due to coronavirus, the number of pharmacies was noticeably reduced in Russia. The work stopped about two thousand outlets, we are talking about a period from June to September 2021. Moreover, small and medium businesses are most often closed in the country.
