Spain's Ministry of Health approves digital system to replace paper coupon seals for subsidized medications

Toasted golden, schmeared with insight. Top of the rack.
Summary
The Spanish Ministry of Health has approved a decree to digitize the process of managing subsidized medication prescriptions in pharmacies. Currently, pharmacists must manually cut out coupon seals from medication packaging, attach them to justification sheets, and send them to the administration for reimbursement. The new digital system will replace this outdated paper-based process, though both systems will coexist temporarily until the digital transition is fully operational.
