Extract from this report
- In Romania there are, on average, 1.9 warehouses per one pharmaceutical wholesaler. In Poland, Bulgaria and Slovakia this number fluctuates around 1.3.
- On average, there is one pharmacy for approximately every 2,800 people in the Central European region. There are, however, significant differences between particular countries. The highest mean population to pharmacy ratio is found in the Czech Republicand the lowest in Bulgaria.
- Poland, Bulgaria and the Czech Republic have the most liberal laws: all OTC drugs can be sold online in these countries. The situation is almost the same in Slovakia: only those OTC medicines covered by obligatory health insurance cannot be sold online.
Market commentary by expert
Pharmaceutical distribution has been liberalised further in Central Europe in 2011, with Bulgaria making the online sale of medicines legal in March. Non-pharmacy sale of OTC medicines may be still allowed in 2011 in Slovakia, which quite recently, i.e. in December 2009, liberalised online sale of pharmaceuticals. The Slovak government included such proposal into National Reform Programme 2011, with the intention of stimulating competition and reducing the prices of OTC drugs.Conversely, Hungary and Romania have introduced more restrictive rules on the opening of new pharmacies.
