| Sumario: | The country has three separate health systems: government, social security and private. They are vastly different, and yet total healthcare expenditures are a mere 4.6% of the G.N.P. There is an essential drugs program, a fledgling patent law, and a national formulary. Drug consumption in the country is the 5th highest, after France, Spain, USA and Venezuela. Drug prices are printed on cartons. The government wants to end the OTC sale of prescription drugs and to maintain a better data system, as well as to promote price competition. © 2003 by The Haworth Press, Inc. All rights reserved. |
