WILLEMSTAD - Minister of Public Health, Javier Silvania, is actively considering the option of importing generic medications from India, as reported to the local Papiamento newspaper EXTRA.
Silvania revealed that ongoing collaboration with the Indian community in Curaçao is paving the way for this endeavor. This collaboration stems from discussions surrounding the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding in the field of Public Health with India. The agreement, which received approval from the Council of Ministers earlier this month, is pending finalization. Silvania emphasized the potential benefits, stating, "India is a leading producer of generic medications, and it would be advantageous for Curaçao to establish direct imports from their factories."
