PM meets pharma firms on supply chain
Palestinian Prime Minister Muhammad Mustafa discussed with Hytham Masrouji, Chairman of the Pharmaceutical Suppliers Union, and Firas Nasser al-Din, Chairman of the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Union, ways to strengthen the supply of vital medicines, chronic disease medications, and neonatal drugs, amid the ongoing detention of Palestinian tax revenues by the occupation for the eighth consecutive month. The meeting emphasized the importance of directing resources to ensure the availability of essential medicines, especially given the difficult circumstances faced by the healthcare sector due to occupation and settler attacks. It was noted that the annual government pharmaceutical procurement amounts to approximately 400 million shekels, and that payments due to pharmaceutical companies and hospitals are expected to reach around 800 million shekels by the end of the year. The discussion also highlighted the need to intensify international efforts to support the Palestinian healthcare sector and to recover the withheld funds.
