ORGANIZATION OF DRUG REIMBURSEMENT IN DIFFERENT REGIONS OF THE WORLD

Abstract

Drug reimbursement is one of the key elements of the effective health care system. The introduction of mechanisms to optimize the cost of drug provision can significantly reduce the costs of the state budget, expanding the availability of therapy and reducing long-term economic losses due to disability of the working population. The article analyses the specifics of drug provision programs in various regions of the world to determine the best practices for the purpose of subsequent introduction in the Russian Federation.
