•Pharma firms keeping doctors and patients in the dark over medicine shortages

Pharmaceutical companies must notify Finnish Medicines Agency of supply issues.
In September around 150 medicines were subject to shortages that were not reported to Fimea .
In October there were more than 200 similar shortages, when around 650 reports of supply problems had been made to the agency.
The Association of Finnish Pharmacies says that supply issues have become more common in the last few years .
Low prices in Finland , combined with the small market size, could be factors contributing to the problem.
"Reports should be free, and Fimea should increase oversight so that all firms make their reports as required by law," says Bothas .
Finland is not all that interesting a destination for international pharmaceutical operations.
