Abstract The problems of the timely exposure of crimes committed in the sphere of production and circulation of medical supplies, by the divisions of the Department of Economic Protection of the National Police of Ukraine are considered.

The provision on the feasibility of introducing labeling of medical supplies to ensure their tracking from the moment of entering the market until the moment of selling in pharmacies has been substantiated.
Keywords medical supplies; pharmaceutical market; falsified or unregistered medical supplies; crime latency; drug labeling.
