National drug policies

In many countries, the national dmg policy defines public policy relating to the pharmaceutical sector, including regulation. However, of the 10 countries studied, only four (Australia, the Netherlands, Uganda, Zimbabwe) have a written national dmg policy document. [Pg.31]

Countries nevertheless spell out their policy intentions in their dmg legislation, or incorporate their pharmaceutical policy into national planning documents. For example, Tunisia s national pharmaceutical policy is incorporated into its five-year economic development plan. In Malaysia, dmg legislation and regulations and a system for selection, procurement and distribution of essential dmgs all serve to describe that country s policy regarding the pharmaceutical sector. [Pg.31]

The first. Monitoring the Future (MTF) Survey, is conducted by the University of... [Pg.43]

In line with reasons developed by Baker and Carapinha, Kinsley Wilson and colleagues also accept the premise that the state is primarily responsible for ensuring access to essential medicines. They suggest that countries should develop a National Drug Policy (NDP) and accompanying implementation plans. Countries need to establish adequate processes as far as the registration, selection, procurement, and distribution of drugs are concerned. [Pg.6]

The following sections follow the framework developed by Cohen, Cercone, and Macaya (2002) to discuss government responsibilities in facilitating a robust pharmaceutical system and access to essential medicines. The discussion begins with national drug policies, followed by responsibilities in registration, selection, procurement, distribution, and service delivery. The discussion concludes with policy considerations. [Pg.261]

While those in favor of medicinal marijuana provide large amounts of data indicating the benefits of making it a prescription drug, government authorities and others counter with claims that the data is unscientific. Recently, the Office of National Drug Policy has pledged to consider more serious clinical research on medicinal marijuana. [Pg.37]

To be effective, a small drug regulatory authority needs to operate within the context of a defined national drugs policy and to interrelate with other interested bodies, including organizations responsible for drug procurement in the public sector and the national formulary committee, where such exists. [Pg.436]

These rates suggest little direct association between prevalence of problem drug use and national drug policy, since countries seem to have similar, often moderate, levels of use whether their policies are more liberal or more restrictive. Drug policies may, however, be significant in minimising some consequences of problem use, such as infections and overdoses. [Pg.15]

Establishing indicators for international comparisons is more difficult. As noted elsewhere in this chapter and earlier in this volume (Chapter 2), variability can be expected in the manner, types and extent of data collected between countries. In addition, ongoing policy implementation and reform can make it difficult to identify and maintain compatible indicators over a period of time. However, certain indicators for international comparisons of national drug policies [4] and indicators of drug use [26] have been defined and they are worth examining if it is proposed to compare policies across borders. [Pg.60]
