At the glamorous opening of the 2024 Expopharm in Munich, Jörg Wieczorek, the charismatic CEO of Pharma Germany, pointed out the dizzying gap between the progress in the pharmaceutical industry and the challenges of the pharmacies. The message? It is high time to revolutionize the role of the pharmacies for the benefit of the German health system!

"The reform needs are obvious!" Cried Wieczorek in his gripping greeting. He made it clear that the implementation of pharmaceutical innovations is hindered by a bureaucracy that is hard to manage and the merciless price pressure on prescription medication, especially generic. He sees the pharmacies as the heart where the weaknesses of the system come to light.

pharmacies at the limit of load

ahead of us is a worrying winter in which there is a great risk that many customers will come to the pharmacy and not find the drugs they need. "This is a structural problem that can no longer be ignored!" Emphasizes Wieczorek. He warns: Humanity not only needs any solution, but innovative ways to ensure the supply of drugs.

With a clear appeal, Wieczorek also demanded that the pharmacies in their function as a guide in the health system have to be strengthened. The pharmacists' skills are essential for advice on over -the -counter drugs - but there is still a lot of room for improvement here. "The savings for the health system could be more than one billion euros annually if we rely on self -medication," he added.

The call for the further development of the pharmacies

A clear message went through his speech like a thread: "We have to develop the pharmacy - not handle!" Wieczorek not only sees great potential to relieve the health system, but also an opportunity for pharmacies to redefine and consolidate their role.

Pharma Germany is not just a merger - it is the voice of around 400 member companies that employ around 80,000 people in Germany and make a significant contribution to maintaining the supply of drugs. Your products make up almost 80 percent of the over -the -counter and two thirds of the prescription drugs. A load -bearing pillar in the German healthcare system that applies to protecting and strengthening - through reforms and a modern pharmacy landscape!
