The requirements and criteria for unprofitable product requests are unclear, making it difficult for companies to submit such requests.

Recommendations

  • The EBC recommends establishing clear criteria for cases where multiple products exist within the same functional category.
  • The EBC also recommends that the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) provides support to academic societies in preparing request documents for the continued supply of essential products.
