Ministry of Health facilitates access to IV treatment for cancer patients

A new step by the Ministry of Health is facilitating the lives of cancer patients, who have recently become doubly concerned due to the lack of medicines!

There is no need for cancer patients to go to the drug distribution center for incurable diseases in Karantina to obtain intravenous injections and other drugs that are given exclusively as injections or what is known as IV injections, and the reason is that the subsidized cancer drugs will go directly from the agent to the hospital, without going through neither the Karantina warehouse nor even Through the patient, and thus the Ministry of Health pays the price of the subsidized medicine directly to the hospital, provided that it is registered on the medi track network. In return, the Ministry can track the course of the subsidized cancer medicines.

However, provided that the patient has previously obtained the approval of the competent committees at the Ministry of Public Health, or that the newly diagnosed cancer patient obtains approval from the competent committees of the Ministry before benefiting from the circular.

The new circular of the Ministry of Health will first reduce the burden of the distance that the patient had to incur towards the Karantina warehouse, and in many cases he would not find his medicine, and it would also end the favoritism and abuses that were taking place... It would also allow tracking of subsidized medicines and protecting them from selling on the black market or through illegal methods .

This circular also aims to ensure the safety of the medicine, as sometimes when the patient buys the medicine, they do not keep it as needed at the required temperature.

Thus, this circular covered 60 percent of cancer medicines that the patient will receive directly during treatment sessions in the hospital, so patients must visit the Karantina warehouse to obtain other medicines that are pills, because hospitals do not have the right to buy them from the agent and provide them to patients.
