The Ministry of Industry: Receipt of 100,000 dental anesthesia units during the next week – Al-Hiwar Al-Jazaeryia

In a statement, the ministry said: To reduce the fluctuation in supplying the national market with anesthesia materials for dental surgery, the interests of the Ministry of Industry and Pharmaceutical Production took all necessary measures to supply dental surgery clinics by granting an import program estimated at about 250,000 boxes, each containing 50 doses, sufficient to meet the national consumption rates for these materials. 100,000 of them will be received over the next week.

Accordingly, the interests of the Ministry of Industry and Pharmaceutical Production know that the reasons for this fluctuation are due to external factors, related to the cessation of supplying the national market with this substance by the largest suppliers of this type, and the demand of another supplier to raise prices to more than three times the normal price rates.

As the Ministry knows in this regard, the prices proposed by the second supplier were controlled by the Joint Sectoral Economic Committee to determine the prices of medicines, in order to avoid the repercussions of high prices on dental surgeons and patients at the clinic level.

The Ministry of Industry and Pharmaceutical Production also reassures the national public opinion that, in order to ensure the continuous availability of these basic medicines and completely eliminate the problem of fluctuation in supplying clinics with these materials, three projects have been approved for the local production of anesthesia materials, which will be launched in the stages of secondary packaging during the coming months, with the condition of gradual passage of production in a pattern Kamel (unit in Oran, the second in Tipaza and another at the level of the state of Batna).
