Article 9. Cost-sharing for pharmaceutical products. The Committee regrets to note that no reply was received to its previous observations on the measures taken to include all victims of occupational accidents within the category of insured persons exempt from cost-sharing so that pharmaceutical assistance dispensed outside the hospital is provided free of charge to all victims of occupational accidents. The Committee requests the Government to indicate in its next report the measures taken to further reduce cost-sharing for pharmaceutical products outside the hospital for victims of occupational accidents and provide the corresponding statistical information.
