Pharmaceuticals are an essential component of health care. But for many people in low- and middle-income countries, access to the medicines they need to prevent or treat severe illnesses is limited. Typical problems are lack of availability, costs that exceed the individual's purchasing power or lack of competent "agents" - health workers that are well trained to give the correct advice on which medicines to take. Pharmaceutical policy is the part of health policy that aims at addressing these problems and increasing access to safe, effective and affordable medicines for all patients. There are many obstacles against achieving these goals. Such obstacles can arise from financial interests on the side of suppliers and health care providers, who may benefit from charging higher prices and issuing more prescriptions than might be justified from a clinical and economic viewpoint. Or from rogue suppliers trying to introduce low quality or counterfeit drugs into markets with less effective regulation. Also, corruption and ineffective bureaucracies sometimes interfere with well intended programs to offer access to essential medicines for the poor. This book offers policy makers a hands-on approach, tested in the World Bank's field work in many countries, for assessing the pharmaceutical sector, recognizing typical "patterns of dysfunction" and developing strategies to quickly deal with the most urgent problems while at the same time building a platform for sustainable long term policy. It offers examples from a variety of low- and middle income countries and provides practical assessment tools for policy makers. The book ends with the author's outlook on future developments in this complex policy field.

Abundant literature is available on the spectrum of issues relevant to pharmaceutical policy-including regulation, pricing, financing, reimbursement, procurement, and distribution. What has been lacking is a practitioner's guide for navigating this complex field while considering the various challenges and limitations that characterize political reality. This book meets that need. There is no "one-size-fits-all" approach to pharmaceutical policy. Even two countries with similar objectives may need to apply different sets of policies, depending on their starting positions, preexisting laws and regulations, perceptions among providers and patients, and implementation capacity. Developed countries may find it hard to reconcile industrial policy and innovation with cost containment in the health sector. Middle-income countries may have to bridge the divide between a demanding urban population and large numbers of poor people in peri-urban and rural areas. Low-income countries may struggle to provide basic essential drugs to their populations through inefficient delivery systems that are still largely state run, while their growing private markets may be flooded with drugs of dubious origin and quality. In each case, policy makers and implementing agencies need to select and combine their policy measures in a way that not only conceptually addresses the main problems but also is practically viable and sustainable.A Practical Approach to Pharmaceutical Policy discusses the wide range of challenges facing policy makers, presents the current know-how, and provides specific examples of policy packages that can be used in defined circumstances. The book, which focuses on developing countries, equally addresses the issues faced by low-income and middle-income countries. It concludes with a prognosis of how things might evolve in the longer term, assuming convergence toward models that work to reduce the fragmentation of policies and enhance regulatory and.
