Do Belarusians trust domestic drugs?

The Ministry of Health asked the Belarusians to send photos of cheques for drugs purchased abroad, if their price differs from the prices of similar drugs in Belarus. The proposal provoked a sharp reaction of the residents of our country and gave rise to more questions than answers.

One of them is whether Belarusians trust the domestic drugs.

Radio Svaboda asked this question in the streets of Minsk.

"It is expensive here. And abroad it is twice cheaper. Yes, almost twice as much".

"I was buying in Lithuania several times. I buy what I like in France".

"I used to buy medicines. But I didn't find what I needed in Belarus. We went to Moscow".

"When you take foreign drugs, you feel better".

"I'm not used to the Belarusian drugs yet, I use imported ones".

"I trust the European pharmaceutics more".

"The Belarusian ones do not help me, they are of some other quality".

"Doctors themselves say that the Belarusian analogues of drugs are worse," - the interlocutors said to Radio Svaboda.
