A total of 3,848 mutualists will have access from the month of September in the autonomous city of Melilla to the electronic recipe of the General Mutuality of Civil Servants of the State (MUFACE).
The General Director of MUFACE, Myriam Pallarés, has highlighted that, with Melilla, there are already nine Autonomous Communities and Cities in which this electronic prescription is implemented and 40% of mutualists belonging to the entity already have access to both public and concerted electronic prescription.
Thus, from the month of September, all the mutualists of the city will be able to go to their doctors and request that they prescribe them electronically with the card of the entity to which they are attached. With that card they can go directly to any pharmacy in the city where they will be dispensed with the prescribed medication.
Not only that, in the case of needing a visa, they will no longer need to travel to the provincial service of MUFACE, but everything will also be processed electronically.
Remove paper and displacements
As explained by the General Director of MUFACE, the administration “has become aware of the importance of providing citizens with access to essential vital facts, as in this case is health”.
“Eliminating displacements, eliminating paper, increasing traceability and controlling pharmaceutical prescription and dispensing is a strategic goal for MUFACE,” he explained.
Another of the qualities of the electronic recipe is interoperability. “The mutualists who move around the national territory to the autonomous communities where the electronic prescription is implanted will have free access to this electronic prescription in any pharmacy in the Spanish territory,” he reported.
Pallarés who has moved to the city of Melilla, has held a meeting to address this issue in the Government Delegation, in which the Secretary General of the government agency, Sana Abdeslam, took part; the head of the Information Technology and Communications Unit of MUFACE, José Antonio Navarro; the Provincial Director of the entity in Melilla, Pilar Miralles; the President of the General Council of Pharmaceutical Schools, Jesús Aguilar; the General Secretary of the College, Raquel Martínez, as well as representatives of the Association of Pharmacists, Physicians and Doctors,
