Artificially increased prices for medicines are immoral and criminal, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on Monday.
"Artificially increased prices in this sphere appear immoral if not criminal," Medvedev said during the State Council's meeting on social-economic issues of the elderly.
The president proposed to expand the pharmacy network and provide more free medicine for pensioners.
"It is necessary to expand the pharmacy network...as well as to facilitate the distribution of prescriptions to elderly people and organize the home delivery of medicines for them," he said.
