Russian President Vladimir Putin has approved a bill that allows rural district hospitals to sell medicines.
We are talking about those medical institutions that are located in populated areas where there are no pharmacies.
It is emphasized that the relevant document is available for review, as reported by RIA Novosti .
It is emphasized that all medical institutions that have a license to carry out pharmaceutical activities will be able to sell medicines.
New law
Previously, only outpatient clinics, first aid posts and general medical practice centres could carry out this type of trade.
The adopted bill makes it possible for certified medical institutions in villages and towns to independently sell medicines.
Only persons with professional education in this field will be able to sell medicines.
In addition, this right is granted to citizens who have received additional education in the retail trade of medicines.
