Roles of Medicines in Health Systems by HananAhmed is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Medicines play important roles in health systems by treating diseases, preventing complications, and meeting patient expectations. However, medicines also account for substantial health spending and out-of-pocket costs. Inefficiencies include underuse of generics, use of substandard medicines, and inappropriate medicine use. To achieve health system goals of universal coverage affordably and sustainably, health systems must ensure equitable access to high-quality, appropriate and affordable medicines.
