(MENAFN- UkrinForm) President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky stated that concrete steps need to be taken to make healthcare more affordable for the people of Ukraine.

He mentioned this in a video address , as reported by Ukrinform.

"We are also preparing a new agenda for the NSDC, in addition to the issues related to the financial resilience of our state. We need to support the financial stability of every Ukrainian family, of all our citizens. In many ways, this includes the issue of prices, especially for vital things like medicines. What some pharmacy chains are doing with prices is absolutely unacceptable. And this is the responsibility of the Government, specifically the Minister of Health and the Antimonopoly Committee. Today I had a meeting with them, and I'm tired of waiting for their respective proposals," Zelensky said.
