Pharmaceutical Coverage Division
The Pharmaceutical Coverage Division of IFET S.A. has innovative high-tech products that improve the patients’ quality of life and daily life, are necessary for Public Health and are not available from pharmaceutical companies either because they are not of commercial interest or because they are new medicines that have not yet been released in our country.
Our work requires awareness and serious planning, and our primary concern is to import proprietary medicinal products that combine excellent quality with the lowest possible cost.
The Pharmaceutical Coverage Division identifies solutions in cooperation with Purchases & Medicine Procurement Division and Suppliers rated to a high standard.
The import and distribution of all pharmaceutical preparations is carried out on the order of the Greek National Organisation for Animal Health (EOF), which determines the quantities and/or the price of their distribution in the Greek market.
