The President of the National Corporation of Consumers and Users (Conadecus), Hernán Calderón, criticized in Cooperativa the agreement of the municipality of Maipú with the chain Salcobrand pharmacy, the accuser is a mechanism for removing popular pharmacies.
" I have serious problems with agreements made with pharmacies that had poor practice with drugs even up to 2000 percent more expensive Therefore, any reduction made by this pharmacy is insignificant compared to the profits made, "he said.
The agreement aims to grant rebates of more than 90%. cent in more than 1,300 drugs to the inhabitants of the municipality, obtaining this advantage by presenting the Maipú neighborhood card, identity card and corresponding medical prescription.
or again, the president of Conadecus accused "the pharmacy often applies 2000 to 3000% of the profits of certain drugs and, logically, if it drops from 100% to 200%, it remains profitable and will generate profits." [19659006] " Pharmacies and pharmacy chains are not benevolent entities, they are always looking for profits for their shareholders and their owners so I believe that is a mechanism that is set up to remove this new model that was the popular pharmacy where municipalities were responsible for their neighbors, with people who had a difficult access to drugs, "he warned.

Calderón emphasized that the drugs "are not consumer goods and, therefore, what we recommend (in Conadecus), is that exists a price regulation, especially for essential drugs, medicines with recipes . "
" Popular pharmacies badumed this responsibility and were looking for mechanisms via the Central Supply (Cenabast), which was buying at much lower prices that pharmacies, so that people had access to this drug, "he said.
