Web noticias

The Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality has already prepared the draft Ministerial Order

The document, obtained by the newspaper, aims to compile and classify information on marketed products as a preliminary step towards developing a common catalogue of the supplementary orthoprosthetic benefit and the maximum funding amounts.

Redacción Médica also indicates that the order must still undergo consultation with the General Council of Official Medical Colleges (OMC), the General Council of Official Colleges of Pharmacists (Cgcof), the employers' association for medical technologies and healthcare products (Fenin), and patient associations, among others.

According to the justification provided by the Ministry of Health in its draft, the regulation "will have a positive health impact, since it is a necessary step to ensure that the orthoprosthetic benefit is provided to users of the National Health System under more uniform and transparent conditions throughout the territory, consequently improving healthcare and the quality of life of people who require this benefit".

The registry will be managed by the Deputy Directorate-General for the Basic Portfolio of Services of the National Health System and Cohesion Fund, while companies will communicate products to this Registry directly through the Ministry's electronic office. The classification established by Ana Mato's team covers the categories of wheelchairs, external prostheses, orthoses and special orthoprostheses.
