- After the war, three times more Ukrainians may need cannabis-based medicines
The Ministry of Health has estimated that about 4 million Ukrainians will need medicines for the treatment of post-traumatic syndrome
This was told by the First Deputy Minister of Health Alexander Komarida.
According to him, before the war, more than 2 million Ukrainians needed cannabis-based drugs to treat post-traumatic disorder. Now 4 million of our fellow citizens have already been added to this figure.
The Deputy Minister also said that the drugs that will be registered for use in Ukraine must have proven clinical efficacy. Then they will not bear any harm and will not cause dependence.
Now the Verkhovna Rada is considering bill number 7457, which should help with the registration of such drugs and keep records of them.
