Abstract:
Background and Aim: Community pharmacy, as a place to supply medicine, plays an important role in the health system, so it is important to pay attention to the legal and contractual system of insurance and pharmacy. If this system fails, it could cause problems in the pharmaceutical supply chain, which can affect the entire chain, even pharmaceutical factories. The contract between basic insurances and community pharmacies in Iran is determined by the Supreme Council of Health Insurance and is equally enforced among insurance companies. This study intends to help policymakers to establish an efficient legal system in this area through the legal review of this contract.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive-analytical study with legal inferences deals with the pathology of the various components of this contract. In this study and legal characteristics, including the type of contract, the persons involved in the contract, the subject and duration, obligations, terms of the contract, dissolution, violations, and dispute resolution mechanism of this contract are examined.
Results: The contract is a non-specific, correlative, contingent, irrevocable, and supplemental contract that deals with the delivery of pharmaceutical services in a pharmacy and imposes various obligations on the parties.
Ethical considerations: In the present study, adherence to the scientific method, ethical principles, fidelity and intellectual property have been observed.
Conclusion: Due to the problems in this contract, the lack of unity of procedure and structural problems in the institutions involved in the implementation of this contract, it is necessary to review and amend this contract to improve this legal system.
