Yesterday's news was the agreement reached between AIFA<\/span><\/a>, Fedefarma<\/span><\/a>, ADF and Assofarm on the new remuneration of pharmacies<\/span><\/a> and wholesalers. A remuneration that is made up of a lump sum and a percentage on the price of the ex-factory drug which has the advantage of homogenizing the treatments at a national level by eliminating the distortions that currently characterize the reimbursements of Regions<\/span><\/a> at pharmacies.<\/span><\/p>\n

A gift to pharmaceutical companies and perhaps also to intermediate distributors? And we still wonder why Federfarma didn't demand the alignment of purchase prices given that it would have favored the passage of drugs in DD and DPC to the pharmacy?<\/span><\/p>\n
