Pharma Industry Committee

The main aim of this sectoral Committee is to promote the needed reforms of the health sector, health insurance model and advocate for the full harmonization of legislation with the EU and removing legislative obstacles. The committee enables FIC members with interest in health sector to jointly articulate interests and activities. They include in the first place pharma and medical devices companies, as well as insurance companies and different types of healthcare providers. Key issues to be tackled are key laws for healthcare (Law and Health Insurance and Law on Health protection), as well as the needed changes in health insurance model and better allocation of funds in the sector.

Committee was established in September 2018, with the approval of all the members from the Pharma Industry and now has over 10 members.

Main priorities defined in Pharma Industry Committee Program 2024-2026 are:

• Systematic allocation of National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) funds for the introduction of medicines and medical devices every year
• Tariffs harmonization
• Medicines, medical devices, health care and health insurance regulation
• Participation in relevant stakeholder working groups
