When WHO first made this statement fifteen years ago, there was general concern that medical miracles such as antibiotics, antiparasitic medicines, vaccines and anal gesics would not be available to many people. Today, the proportion of those lack ing access is lower in Asia and Latin America and higher in Africa but there are probably about two billion people in this situation. This book describes the many problems involved, and then puts together possible solutions based on country expe riences in a comprehensive and coherent manner. Many people lack access to essential medicines because they and their countries are poor, and because of inefficiencies in their health systems. We know that in low and middle income countries between 25 and 40 per cent of health expenditure is on medicines, and that most of that expenditure is out of pocket. Often this amounts to less than US $ 2 per head per year! In contrast, high income countries spend only 8 to 15 per cent of health expenditure on medicines, and this is mostly paid for by health insurance or social security fund | | 出版日期 | Textbook 2004 | | 关键词 | Europe; International Health; Pharmaceutical Policy; Public Health; World Health Organization; assessment | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-0348-7913-2 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-7643-6601-8 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-0348-7913-2 | | copyright | Springer Basel AG 2004 |
