Originally published in 1981, this comprehensive volume is intended for medical economists, clinical pharmacologists, physicians, pharmacists and consumers, as well as planner and administrators who must determine relevant policy and legislation in the area of the provision of medicines. The contributors believe that the system of drugs provision can benefit from being studied, by policy revisions and evaluation of the outcomes of policy operations.
