Pharmacies of the Lugmedfarm state unitary enterprise have provided more than 72,000 cut rate medicine packets over the past two and a half months, said Lugansk People’s Republic Healthcare Minister Natalia Pashchenko.

Lugmedfarm outlets have provided discount medications and medical supplies to certain groups of residents under a state program on the basis of 31,009 prescriptions, Pashchenko wrote on Telegram.

The program of discount medicines was launched in the LPR earlier this year for the first time. It provides vital medications to war veterans, people with disabilities, liquidators of Chernobyl disaster and children up to three years of age, the minister said.*i*sb
