Pharmaceutical companies are negotiating with the Health Ministry on the prices of drugs and their reimbursement rates which have to take effect in January 2005. No agreement has been reached so far. According to the Health Minister’s spokesman the list of fully reimbursed drugs should be known today. Earlier, there were speculations that Zentiva might offer the cheapest drugs, hence have its products fully reimbursed, which might support Zentiva’s sales in the domestic market. Neutral.
