E-drug: Pharmaceutical budgets
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Cross-posted from Pharm-policy. Thanks. HH]
Dear all,
We need data of portions of pharmaceuticals in total health care
budget in various countries, both insurance budget and
non-insurance budget.
Please send as many data as possible to me concerning this, or
provide me with the information of websites where I can find this
data.
Thank you.
p.s.
South Korean pharmaceutical budget occupies 32-27% of total
insurance budget, although out-of-pocket payment covers 42% of
total health care cost. And as usual, it is almost impossible to get
exact information about non-insurance payments.
