E-DRUG: Drug Expenditure Breakdown - Palau (3)
----------------------------------------------
Hello Mr. Duncan,
Thank you for your illuminating statistics. But before we blow the whistle
on which drug is draining your national reserve, it would be better to
correlate this data with prevalence of particular diseases or disorders in
the region.
Furthermore, the pattern of antibiotic resistance would dictate on which
drug dominates the anti-infectives.
Lastly, I believe there is room for a change to cheaper ACE-inhibitors.
I am sorry that I don't have statistics for my region but your
communication has set me into a seeker's mood.
