In 2022, consumer health in the Czech Republic was challenged by medicine shortages, which, to some degree, continued in Q1 2023. The lack of some medicines in the Czech Republic and throughout Europe was caused by the disruption of global supply chains, due to the effects of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the war in Ukraine. Combined with an unusually high demand for drugs like antibiotics or analgesics, this creates a tough and uncertain operating environment.
