<br/><br/> With focus on national drug policies, strategies and options for use in the pharmaceutical sector this book presents discussions on how countries can make drugs more available to those in need. It suggests that the increasing numbers of people without access to essential drugs is a contributing factor to high mortality rates in Africa and Asia where some of the drugs available are of poor quality, and there?s irrational use of drugs. The book discusses the contents of a national drug policy explaining various strategies of how these can be achieved.This edition updates and replaces Guidelines for Developing National Drug Policies, 1988
