Brief, factual summary in Slovak: The Ministry of Health presented a draft amendment to the drug policy, which contains several fundamental changes, including the criteria for approving exceptional drugs and the introduction of new groups of drugs for children and for serious diseases. The problem is the lack of flu vaccines, which is caused by the fact that they are ordered according to the demand from the previous year, which has been low for a long time in Slovakia, only around 5%. The Department argues that it is not in the position of ordering vaccines, which is not the most fortunate approach to solving this problem that could have been foreseen. The European Union is becoming more involved in the fight against illegal drugs, especially cocaine and synthetic drugs, and will use satellites, drones and the new EDAS warning system for this purpose. The European Commissioner has admitted that the situation with illegal drugs in Europe is reaching a critical point, therefore the control of ports and monitoring of borders and the transport of drugs by mail will be increased. Hospitals in Slovakia are introducing new technologies, such as 3D printing of tablets for children's patients, reconstruction of infectious disease pavilions and awarding health professionals and workers in social services.
