THE FORMULARY SYSTEM: EXPERIENCE IN INTRODUCTION AND PROSPECTS

Abstract

It is known that there are problems in the drug provision (DP) system virtually in all countries irrespective of the level of economic development. Because of money stringency, many countries reduce expenses on DP despite more and more increasing healthcare needs. So the problems, associated with the limited access of the population to qualitative medicaments and their rational use, have not lost their urgency. In this connection, the formulary system in the health care facilities of the Republic of Kazakhstan was studied by analyzing its legislative enactments regulating DP and by interviewing the staff of these facilities (a questionnaire method). The study has demonstrated that in Kazakhstan the formulary system needs to be improved; difficulties preserve in the creation and practical use of a drug form in health care facilities.
