E-drug: WHO article on comparative pharmaceutical expenditures
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello e-druggers:
I am looking for a WHO publication: Global Comparative
Pharmaceutical Expenditures (Geneva 2000, EDM/PAR/2000.2). I
cannot access that article from the WHO website and all my
messages to that site have been undelivered.
If anyone has a copy of that article or any article that compares the
out-of-pocket expenses on drugs in developing countries with those in
the developed countries, I would welcome hearing from you.
The WHO-WTO background paper for the Hosbjor Conference, 'More
Equitable Pricing for Essential Drugs...", cites that article for data on
out-of-pocket expenses on India and Burkina Faso. It also cites
Sauerborn R, Nougtara A, Borchert M, Hein M, et al, 'The economic
costs of illness for rural households in Burkina Faso', Trop. Med.
Parasitol: (46) 54-60 1995 (Figure 4 of the WHO-WTO background
paper. Unfortunately I have been unable to locate that either.
Please help!!
