Patients after transplantation will be able to receive immunosuppressants
After transplantation, it is necessary to take immunosuppressants – drugs that suppress the body’s immunological reactions. The program includes 21 drugs that patients can receive free of charge or with a surcharge. This was reported by the Ministry of Health. 15 of them are completely free, six – with a partial surcharge.

The transplant coordinator enters information into the electronic health care system. He also creates a treatment plan, writes an electronic prescription and gives a referral for a routine examination in three months. Based on the results of the tests, the doctor decides after 3 months whether it is necessary to change the course of treatment. If not, writes out a new electronic prescription, if yes, refers the patient to a hospital to determine the further course of treatment. After 6-12 months, the patient should contact the transplant coordinator for a prescription or medication. The Ministry of Health also emphasizes that immunosuppressive drugs can be received by those patients who underwent transplantation abroad and have the appropriate documents.
