National Council for the Security of Supply of Medicines
The National Council for the Security of Supply of Medicines works to provide an overview and a general understanding of the medicines supply situation in Denmark. The council consists of relevant stakeholders, i.e. patient organisations, pharmacies, wholesalers, professional medical organisations, business organisations and authorities.
In this forum, together we discuss the current supply conditions and look for solutions to solve supply challenges of a general nature. Our purpose is to contribute together to strengthening information and communication efforts involving supply difficulties, focusing especially on timely and adequate information to patients and doctors.
The scope of the council’s work is the security of supply of medicines for human use and does not involve concrete administrative review of current supply difficulties.
