The main topic of discussion was issues related to pharmaceutical provision under the current Memorandum of Understanding. During the meeting, emphasis was placed on several key areas, including improving the national regulatory system, increasing access to essential medicines, enhancing procurement transparency, and ensuring the resilience of supply chains.

Representatives of partner organizations confirmed their readiness to further strengthen cooperation, including support for the implementation of international standards in procurement, supply chain management, the application of digital solutions, pharmacovigilance, and the development of the institutional capacity of the healthcare system. Following the meeting, participants agreed to continue joint efforts to implement the provisions of the Memorandum of Understanding, focusing on specific and measurable outcomes aimed at improving pharmaceutical safety and protecting patient interests.
