The main measures of the Social Security financing bill were presented this Wednesday, September 27, 2023, to the Council of Ministers. The text provides for some measures to alleviate drug shortages, a phenomenon that has been on the rise in France for a decade. In the event of supply shortages, the delivery of individual tablets or capsules could, for example, be made compulsory.
The government, however, rejects the idea of extending the shelf life of drug stocks. More than 3,700 drug shortages or risks of drug shortages have been reported in France in 2022, compared to less than 200 ten years earlier. Why this phenomenon? This is what we will try to understand today in Decryption.
