Senator Mar Roxas, principal author of the Universally Accessible Quality and Affordable Medicines Law pushes for the immediate issuance of the law's Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) in order not to delay the delivery of quality health services to the poor. According to the senator, he will monitor the implementation of the law and vowed to prevent it from being diluted in the IRR.
The new law will allow the parallel importation of quality and cheaper medicines and empowers the Bureau of Food and Drugs (BFAD) to regulate its importation. The people will now have access to quality cheaper medicines compared to the present situation where the prices of quality medicines are prohibitive due to the monopoly of multi-national drug companies. This is a timely solution to the inaccesibilty of quality and affordable medicines.
