MEDICINE SHORTAGES IN EUROPE
MEDICINE SHORTAGES IN EUROPE
means delivering medicine
to the people who need it
When a medicine shortage occurs, patients — our loved ones — are the ones most affected.
Parallel distribution can help fill the gap. Here’s more on the impact it has on all of us:
PARALLEL DISTRIBUTION DELIVERS MEDICINE TO THOSE WHO NEED IT.That medicine shortages occur in Europe is an unfortunate fact.
But it’s not a reality we must accept. Here are the main problems that cause shortages:
Parallel distribution is simple. When a company purchases medicine in one EU country and sells it in another, all the while complying with the highest quality standards, that’s parallel distribution.
When a country experiences a medicine shortage, parallel distribution fills the gap. How? Say Belgium has a shortage. Parallel distributors fill the gap by taking surplus from other EU countries and delivering it to Belgium. Without this process, patients miss out on the medications they need to live a healthy, happy life.
