Rational Drug Management in International Health
03 � 14 May 2004
In cooperation with Swiss Tropical Institute (STI)
The goal of this course is to enable health professionals to un-
derstand and apply the concepts of essential drugs and rational
drug management, considering national and international drug
policy and financing options, and to improve their knowledge and
skills for rational drug management. Drugs are an essential tool
for preventive, curative and rehabilitative health care. How-
ever, holistic health care has to consider drugs just as one
tool among many others and avoid the irrational overuse of phar-
maceuticals. The number and type of drugs is constantly increas-
ing, while the financial resources for health care services in
general remain limited. Therefore rational drug management has
become an increasingly important topic in order to make optimal
use of the drug budget and to offer health services of the high-
est possible standard.
