Approval of Grant contract implementation period extension by eight months March 2022

Accordingly to General conditions applicable to European Union financed grant contracts for external actions (Annex II of the Grant Contract), Article 9, Article 11 and Article 2 of the Special conditions of the Grant contract, the CInMED requested for an extension of the action's implementation period. The reasons are stated below. The extension of the implementation period of the Grant contract has been approved for eight months, until November 16th 2022. The reasons are as follows: 1. The third narrative report and Notification Letter No5 submitted to the CFCU (Contracting Authority) for approval, set out the reasons for postponing the implementation of the Project activities belonging to the Work Package (WP4) and consequently activities belonging to Work Package (WP5). The reasons for postponing mainly refer to the poor epidemiological situation in Montenegro, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which worsened especially in the second year of implementation of this Project, when these activities were supposed to be implemented. Institute for Medicines and Medical Devices - Coordinator, MG SOFT – Project Partner, as well as Ministry of health – final beneficiary and healthcare professionals-target groups were actively engaged in fight against COVID19 pandemic, which was set out as a top priority in health sector, since its emerged. This caused some delays in Project progress. 2. WP4 activities assumed introducing diclofenac prescribing warning messages in the primary health care (PHC) information system. Realization of these activities, which were necessary for implementation of the Project activities belonging to the Work Package (WP5) was completed on 4th October 2021 instead of in May 2021, as it was initially planned. Effectiveness of this measure introduced in PHC information system will be monitored until 4th November 2022, taking into consideration the fact that for implementation of these warnings and change of the doctors' behavior regarding the prescribing of diclofenac, it is necessary for a certain amount of time to pass. 3. WP5 activities includes analysis of diclofenac PHC prescribing data and preparation for publishing two scientific articles. In one of two scientific articles the impact of the warning messages imposed on diclofenac prescribing in primary health care will be analyzed scientifically, in the 12 months period after the introduction of warning messages.
