The sensational story of the conflict between the Department of the Committee on monitoring of medical and pharmaceutical activities of the East Kazakhstan Region and a pharmacy, which started to work thanks to the government program for support of small and medium enterprises "Business Road Map-2020".
For a few years in the regional center prescription production unit operated in the walls of the 101st pharmacy. Simanovskiy smear, Preobrazhenski powder and many other perishable, but very relevant affordable medicines for the population were produced only here. Possessing a license, the unit diluted 96% ethyl, thus, making 70% alcohol for the wholesale supply of regional hospitals.
In February 2015, the budding entrepreneur, a former pharmacist, Elena Likhacheva obtained a loan under the state program, she decided to open a business – a pharmacy. And not just any pharmacy selling or reselling drugs, what do hundreds of her colleagues, but a prescription-production unit. Second one in Ust-Kamenogorsk.

Frightened by such pressure, Elena Likhacheva terminated the contract for the supply of medicines to a hospital in the amount of 3.5 million tenge.
