Internet outages in Yekaterinburg pharmacies have suspended drug sales
Today at 09:49, in Yekaterinburg pharmacies, the drug marking system is blocking sales due to internet disruptions. Participants in pharma chats reported similar problems in Volgograd, Rostov-on-Don, Saint Petersburg, Samara, and Nizhny Novgorod.
— It is impossible to provide people with medical assistance. In large cities, there is an opportunity to connect to wired internet, but not everywhere. The real problem lies in remote areas where there is only one pharmacy and no wired internet, and none is expected, — said Olga Khrutskaya, chairwoman of the Novgorod pharmaceutical professionals' association, to "Farmvestnik."
The sale of all marked drugs is under threat. This is because Government Decree No. 257 of March 3, 2025, allows the sale of medicines only after mandatory online verification at the cash register. Without a stable internet connection, pharmacies cannot perform this operation.
It is worth noting that in several Russian regions, restrictions have been imposed on mobile communication and internet. In Sverdlovsk Region, authorities did not officially resort to such radical measures. However, since mid-June, some Yekaterinburg residents have been complaining about internet outages.
