E-DRUG: Analysing pharmaceutical policy in Europe (4)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Dear Marie-Laurence
I am currently working on the EC commissioned Pharmaceutical Pricing and Reimbursement Information (PPRI) project that aims to collect information on pricing and reimbursement policies in all EU Member States. This data will be available in June 2007, see http://ppri.oebig.at. Other projects of interest could be the EURO-MED-STAT project.
Further, WHO and OECD has conducted a number of studies on comparing pharmaceutical systems. For articles on evaluations of pharmaceutical policies both in countries and between countries, please search at the Cochrane library and Pubmed.
For frameworks to analyze pharmaceutical policies, see e.g. "Regulating pharmaceuticals in Europe", available at www.observatory.dk.
With kind regards
