Additionally, the authors contacted national stakeholders (usually the medicines agency and the community pharmacy association) in the pilot countries (except Austria) and asked them in a telephone interview to identify further measures, including those already implemented or under discussion. A frequently used measure to manage shortages was a national register to which suppliers report current and upcoming shortages: In 20 of the 24 responding countries, regulatory authorities (usually the medicines agency or the ministry of health) ran a shortages register.	./cache/cord-264770-93viq4ak.txt	./txt/cord-264770-93viq4ak.txt
